Bioethanol Fuel Production Processes. II

This book provides the latest research on biomass hydrolysis, hydrolysate fermentation, and bioethanol fuel separation. The book also covers biomass biorefineries and their role to reduce production costs by producing additional products such as power, heat, animal feed, biodiesel, biogas, and biochemicals. Bioethanol Fuel Production Processes: Biomass Hydrolysis, Fermentation, Fuel Separation, and Biorefineries is the second volume in the Handbook of Bioethanol Fuels: Production and Utilization (Six-Volume Set). Written by a list of global experts in the field, this book has four major sections including topics such as biomass hydrolysis, hydrolysate fermentation, bioethanol fuel separation, and biorefineries. Each section provides in-depth analysis and reviews the topic with a multidisciplinary perspective through the use of case studies. The book also discusses enzymatic biomass hydrolysis, microbes used for the fermentation of biomass hydrolysates, metabolic engineering of these microbes to improve the ethanol yield, as well as case studies on biomass biorefineries and bioethanol fuel separation such as power and heat production and dehydration of ethanol-water mixtures. This book is intended for students, researchers, engineers, biotechnicians, biochemist and chemical engineers working on the production of bioethanol fuels.
