Riassunto

This is the first book dedicated to biorefineries and biobased industrial technologies, and, as such, is directed towards the technological principles of biorefineries, green processes, plants, concepts, current and forthcoming biobased product lines, as well as the economic aspects. Since the hot topics of green chemistry and green processes are of a multidisciplinary interest, this book will benefit the whole spectrum of the process industry, including chemical engineers, process engineers, apparatus construction engineers, chemical industry, chemists in industry, and biotechnologists.
The editors and authors are all internationally recognized experts from industry and academia, including Dr. Patrick Gruber, the former Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of Cargill Dow, a winner of the U.S. Presidential Green Chemistry Award and holder of more than 40 patents.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

"Mit diesem Buch liegt erstmals ein umfassendes, systematisch aufgebautes und klar strukturiertes Werk zur Verarbeitung von Biomassen in Bioraffinerien in Form von Ganzpflanzen vor. Dabei werden Prinzip, Logik und Effizienz der Erdölraffinerien, Produktlinien und Produktstammbäume auf die Biomasse übertragen. Diese Bände sollten in eine moderne Ausbildung von Chemikern, Biotechnologen und Ingenieuren Eingang finden. Auch sind sie eine hervorragende Basis als Nachschlagewerk für ausgebildete Chemiker, Biotechnologen und Verfahrensingenieure für den Bereich biobasierte Rohstoffe, Technologien und Produkte."

"Altogether, the edition is an interdisciplinary effort to collect knowledge, experience, and potential in the field of biomass treatment and utilization from a rather chemical point of view. It is a useful source of information for interested scientists, technologists, and engineers in chemistry, agricultural and food sciences and technology as well as related fields."
Starch/Stärke
 
"The book covers a wide range of topics and is, to my knowledge, the best and most comprehensive review of biorefineries. It is the work of 85 experts from universities, R&D institutes, industry and commerce. The authors address the challenges of moving towards a sustainable society in which biological feedstocks, processes and products become the main pillars of the economy, together with the science and technology that makes this transition possible, including economic, infrastructure and policy issues."
Chemistry World
 
"The topics presented in this volume are challenges of moving toward a sustainable society in which bio-based feedstocks, processes and products are fundamental pillars of the economy. One important feature of the book is that it discusses the necessary topics of economics, infrastructure and policy. The book can be a very valuable scientific support for the specialists interested in conservation of non-renewable resources and development of biorefineries - technologies for bio-conversion."

L'autore:

Birgit Kamm has been a member of the board and scientific director at biopos e.V. since 1998. She founded the Green Biorefinery Association Berlin-Brandenburg in 1997 and co-founded the biorefinery.de gmbH, Potsdam (a research, development and transfer company). She is a member of several scientific associations, such as the Society of German Chemists, Liebig Association of Organic Chemistry, and of the American Chemical Society, Green Chemistry and Subdivision.

Patrick Gruber is currently President and CEO of Outlast Technologies. He is the former Vice President and Chief Technology Officer at NatureWorks LLC (formerly Cargill Dow LLC), USA. He has over 40 patents to his name and has repeatedly won top awards for his work in chemicals made from renewable resources, including the Discovery Award for Environmental Innovation awarded by the Christopher Columbus Fellowship Foundation, the US
Presidential Green Chemistry Award, and the US Department of Energy
Technology of the Year Award 2001, together with Cargill Dow Inc., for
the pioneering NatureWorks PLA project. He has served on the Advisory
Board to the Energy Futures Coalition, The DOE/USDA Biomass Federal
Advisory Board, and several other boards.

Michael Kamm studied organic chemistry in Merseburg. Following a research assistantship in Halle-Wittenberg he moved to Potsdam University, founded biopos where he has been involved in the material exploitation of regenerative raw materials. He has been President of biorefinery.de since its foundation in 2001.
