Book Description:
Renewable Bioresources: scope and modification for non-food applications is the first text to consider the broad
conceptof renewable materials from the socio-economic aspects through to thechemical production and technical aspects of treating different rawproducts. The text sets the context of the renewables debate with keyopening chapters on green
chemistry,and the current situation of US and EU policy regarding sustainabilityand industrial waste. The quantitative and technical scope andproduction of renewable resources is then discussed with materiallooking at integral valorisation, the primary production of rawmaterials, downstream processing, and the identification of renewablecrop materials. The latter part of the book concludes with a discussionon the uses for renewable materials such as
carbohydrates,woods, fibres, biopolymers, lipids and proteins in different industrialapplications, including a key chapter on the high value-addedindustries.
[li]Covers the broad concept of renewable resources from different points of view. [/li][li]Takes readers through the identification, production, processing and end-applications for renewable raw materials. [/li][li]Considers and compares EU and US renewable resources and sustainability objectives. [/li][li]Devotes one chapter to green chemistry and sustainability, focussing on the green industrial processes. [/li]
This is an essential book for upper level undergraduates and Mastersstudents taking modules on Renewable Resources, Green Chemistry,Sustainable Development, Environmental Science,
Agricultural Science and Environmental Technology. It will also benefit industry professionals and product
developers who are looking at improved economic and environmental means of utilising renewable materials.
