About the Book: Catalytic Hydrogenation for Biomass Valorization
The efficient conversion of biomass to value-added products has become a major
research area in the pursuit of alternatives to petroleum-based feedstocks;
hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis are important tools to achieving this aim. This
book presents comprehensive coverage of the different catalysts for these
reactions, targeting the efficient conversion of bio-based molecules and
biopolymers.
The editor, Roberto Rinaldi, is an acknowledged leader in the field of biomass
conversion, and has brought together experts from across the globe to examine
all aspects of the process, including the solvents, catalysts and feedstocks
used in modern biorefineries. Consideration is also given
