Wood Biomass Valorization for Value-added Chemicals
View through CrossRef
Wood biomass is a vital component in producing various value-added
products. It can be used to produce biofuels and chemicals. Agriculture practices
produce a lot of lignocellulosic biomass, a waste management concern for years. Most
of this lignocellulosic biomass is considered waste. But in recent years, efforts have
been made to utilize and valorize this biomass to produce value-added products. The
major challenge with lignocellulosic biomass is that it cannot be used in production
processes. Therefore, it requires several physical and chemical pretreatments. This
chapter discusses various pretreatment technologies involved in valorizing
lignocellulosic biomass. In addition, it also discusses lignin pretreatment,
saccharification, and microbial biodiesel production.
