This is the first book dedicated to biorefineries and biobased industrial technologies and products, and, as such, is directed towards the technological principles of biorefineries, processes, plants, concepts, current and forthcoming biobased product lines, as well as economic aspects. Since the hot topics of green chemistry and green processes are of a multidisciplinary interst, this book will benefit chemists in industry and science, in particular the organic chemists and chemical engineers as well as the whole spectrum of the process industry, process engineers, apparatus construction engineers, and biotechnologists.
