Biomass Sugars for Non-Fuel Applications
Biomass Sugars for Non-Fuel Applications
/ edited by Dmitry Murzin and Olga Simakova
- UK Royal Society Of Chemistry 2016
- xiii, 265 P. : ill. ; 23 cm.
Includes bibliographies and index
Biomass-derived sugars provide a rich, renewable feedstock for a diverse range of chemicals, making them a promising and feasible source for the sustainable manufacture of a variety of valuable products. Exploring green sugar-based technologies beyond their applications in fuels, this book provides an overview of sugar-based technologies, describing their challenges and opportunities. It covers transformations of sugars into green chemicals in pharmaceuticals, biodegradable polymers and surfactants. A special chapter is dedicated to the conversion of biomass into sugars, which is a crucial step in the sustainable utilization of sugars.
