Biofuels from Agricultural Wastes and Byproducts
Opis
Traditional agriculture and emerging biofuels technology produce a number of wastes and by-products, ranging from corn fiber and glycerin to animal manure, that have the potential to serve as the basis for additional sources of bioenergy that includes both liquid biofuels and biogas.
Biofuels from Agricultural Wastes and Byproductsnbsp;is the first book to
focus solely on the production of biofuels primarily from agricultural waste and
by-products. The book is divided roughly into two sections. The first section looks
at liquid biofuel production from agricultural byproducts, densification of agricultural
residues, and the delivery from farm to processing plant of waste and byproducts
for use in biofuel production. The second section focuses on anaerobic digestion
of food and animal wastes, microbial diversity, molecular and biochemical aspects
of methanogensis.
Together these sections solidifynbsp;Biofuels from Agricultural Wastes and Byproductsnbsp;as a definitive source of information on the use of agricultural waste and by-products in biofuel production.
