Biomass Conversion through Nanomaterials

Biomass Conversion through Nanomaterials: Green Sustainable Process for Chemical and Environmental Engineering and Science (GSPCEES) presents the catalytic processing of biomass to produce fuels and chemicals. The book employs diverse monomers, including glucose/fructose and polymers such as starch/cellulose in various catalytic processes. It shows that nanomaterials with porous structures, with increased surface areas, and acidity strengthen the catalytic roles, along with numerous additional nanomaterials with comparable qualities, such as those based on carbon, resins, metal oxides, zeolites, silica, organic polymers, and many others, enhance the bioconversion processes of biomass.

The book also highlights the importance of nanotechnology in the emergence of successful biomass for producing high-quality bioenergy and thoroughly covers varied bioenergy applications using nanomaterials. It highlights the possibility that enabling biomass through nanomaterials improves the effectiveness of various bioenergy sources, such as biofuels, microbial fuel cells, etc.
