Biomethanol Conversion from Sugar Beet Pulp. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Oct 2008, Pages: 112
Non-renewable fossil fuels will deplete one day. To
meet the future energy demand, we have to turn to
renewable energy including solar energy, wind
energy, bioenergy, hydroelectricity, wave energy,
tidal power and geothermal energy. Providing the
only renewable alternative for liquid transportation
fuel, bioenergy comes directly from renewable
biomass and exists as the products of methane,
methanol, ethanol and other biofuels. Methanol from
biomass is an important bioenergy that can be used
as the fuel for a direct alcohol fuel cell or as a
raw material for biodiesel.
This book is based on Q. Wang’s PhD research which
has been well documented by the media. In the book,
methanol conversion from sugar beet pulp with pectin
methyl esterase was studied. The goal is to create
bioreactors that can be retrofitted onto existing
sugar processing plants in such a way that the low
value beet pulp can be converted to valuable
bioenergy in an economically feasible way. The
research results can also be used as a reference for
methanol production from other pectin abundant
agricultural byproducts such as pulps from fruit
processing.
