Bioprocessing of Biofuels
暫譯: 生物燃料的生物處理技術

主要與環境可持續性相關的重大問題，如對化石燃料的高度依賴、溫室氣體排放增加、污染、全球變暖和氣候變化，促使全球許多努力尋求對環境影響微乎其微且具社會效益的替代能源來源。由於生物燃料在解決環境問題方面的巨大潛力，全球對生物燃料研究的興趣日益增加。生物燃料有能力通過與化石燃料混合或完全取代它們，作為汽車的即用燃料以及供暖和電力行業的能源，來補充當前和未來的能源需求。廢棄生物質，主要是木質纖維素生物質（例如農作物殘留物、林業生物質和能源作物）以及微藻，能作為一些廉價的可再生生物資源，用於生物燃料和生化產品的生產。《生物燃料的生物處理》一書的主要重點是闡明這一重要過程，特別是通過微生物轉化技術來回收和轉化不可食用的多醣類為碳氫化合物生物燃料和生物能源。

本書對以下最關鍵的主題提供了入門性的介紹：
- 生物燃料生產和利用的最新技術概述
- 生物燃料生產的生物資源分類勘探
- 生物質預處理和酶解糖化
- 廢棄生物質和藻類轉化為液體和氣體生物燃料
- 微生物燃料電池技術的新發展

《生物燃料的生物處理》將與生物資源和綠色技術的前沿應用相關的主題結合在一起，以振興生物煉油廠，並將其定位於競爭激烈的能源市場。這本書旨在立即應用，為全球在能源和燃料相關領域工作的本科生、研究生、科學研究人員和研究學者提供參考資料。
