Biomass will play an important role in the future for the replacement of fossil sources for fuels and chemicals. Catalytic processes are required for the efficient conversion of biomass. The development of such processes and the understanding of the catalytic reactions of biomass molecules has recently attracted considerable and increasing attention. In this book, thirteen experts in different fields deliver their views on the state-of-the-art and future development of the use of biomass as a sustainable feedstock for the chemical industry. The book focuses on chemical aspects, such as catalyst development product analysis or reaction engineering, but also seeks a wider perspective and covers related issues like bioeconomics and plant growth.
This book is aimed at students and scientists in the interdisciplinary field of catalysis for an introduction to the emerging field of biomass conversion and an overview on recent developments and challenges. The papers are based on lectures presented by the authors at a summer school organized by the Fritz-Haber-Institut and held in August 2010 at Kloster Seeon in Germany in the framework of the National Science Foundation-funded program "Partnership in International Research and Education: Molecular Engineering for the Conversion of Biomass Derived Reactants to Fuels, Chemicals, and Materials."
The series "Proceedings" of the Max Planck Research Library for the History and Development of Knowledge presents the results of scientific meetings on current issues and supports further cooperation on these issues via an electronic platform. The volumes are available both as print-on-demand books and as open-access publications on the Internet. The material is freely accessible online at www.edtion-open-access.de, supplemented by additional information and interactive features. The original scholarly work presented in these volumes is published under the responsibility of designated members of the Scientific Board and their appointed reviewers.
Datye, Abhaya K. Abhaya K. Datye is Distinguished Regents Professor of Chemical & Nuclear Engineering at the University of New Mexico, Director of the graduate interdisciplinary program in Nanoscience and Microsystems Engineering and also the Director of the Center for Microengineered Materials, a strategic research center at UNM. His research interests are in heterogeneous catalysis, materials characterization and nanomaterials synthesis. His research group has pioneered the development of electron microscopy tools for the study of catalysts. Behrens, Malte Malte Behrens received his PhD in Chemistry at Kiel University in 2006. He then joined the Department of Inorganic Chemistry at the Fritz-Haber-Institut der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft to do his Habilitation with Robert Schlögl. His research interest is the development of nanochemically-optimized catalytic materials for energy storage applications.
