About the Book

This book is a collection of studies on recent technological developments and related challenges in laboratory and industrial applications and processes for the production of biomass-derived organic acids and alcohols. By exploring topics in catalysis, hydrothermal processes, fermentation, and anaerobic digestion, this volume offers a comprehensive overview of how biomass-derived compounds can be transformed into organic acids and essential chemicals. Focusing on laboratory and industrial applications, it highlights advantages and limitations of established methods while presenting innovative techniques for producing biomass-derived organic acids and alcohols. This book provides diverse examples of applications in producing biomass-derived organic acids, alcohols, and biogas, such as polymer enhancement additives, food waste amino acid recovery, and effective use of wastes for nutrient recycling. The scope of the text encompasses lignocellulosic biomass, agricultural residues, food wastes, biomass-derived compounds, and fundamental carbohydrates to develop overall production strategies for organic acids and alcohols. This book is tailored for professionals in academia and industry working with natural renewable materials, platform chemicals, polymers, and materials science. It also serves as a valuable reference for university students studying chemical engineering or environmental sciences. It offers critical insights into sustainable chemical production practices that are crucial for advancing renewable energy solutions.

About the Author :
Zhen Fang is a Professor and Leader of the Biomass Group at Nanjing Agricultural University. He is the inventor of the "fast hydrolysis" process, and an elected Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering. Professor Fang specializes in thermal/biochemical conversion of biomass, nanocatalyst synthesis, and their applications, pretreatment of biomass for biorefineries, and supercritical fluid processes. He holds Ph.D.s from China Agricultural University and McGill University. Professor Fang is Associate Editor of the international journals, Biotechnology for Biofuels and Journal of Supercritical Fluids (2018-2020). He has more than 20 years of research experience in the field of renewable energy and green technologies at top universities and institutes around the globe, including one year in Spain (University of Zaragoza), three years in Japan (Biomass Technology Research Center, AIST; Tohoku University), and more than eight years in Canada (McGill) in renewable energy and green technologies. Richard L. Smith, Jr. is a Professor at the Graduate School of Environmental Studies, at Tohoku University, Japan and is an elected Fellow of the Society of Chemical Engineers of Japan. He has a strong background in physical properties and separations and holds a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology (USA). His research focuses on developing green chemical processes, especially those that use water and carbon dioxide as the solvents in their supercritical state. He is an expert on physical property measurements and separation techniques with ionic liquids and has published more than 300 scientific papers, patents, and reports in the field of chemical engineering. Professor Smith is the Asia regional editor for the Journal of Supercritical Fluids and has served on the editorial boards of major international journals. Haixin Guo is a Professor at the Agro-Environmental Protection Institute, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (Tianjin, China). She obtained her M.S Degree in Environmental Engineering from Nankai University in China and her Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Science at Tohoku University. She has published more than 60 scientific papers and has research interests in sustainable catalyst development, and hydrothermal reactions including carbonization, solvothermal and mechanochemical pretreatment of biomass, and conversion of biomass into chemicals and biofuels
