Introduction to Chemicals from Biomass, Second Editionpresents an overview of the use of biorenewable resources in the21st century for the manufacture of chemical products, materialsand energy. The book demonstrates that biomass is essentially arich mixture of chemicals and materials and, as such, has atremendous potential as feedstock for making a wide range ofchemicals and materials with applications in industries frompharmaceuticals to furniture. Completely revised and updated to reflect recent developments, this new edition begins with an introduction to the biorefineryconcept, followed b.
