Thermochemical Conversion of Biomass Feedstock and Solid Waste into Biofuels: Production and Pollutant Control offers a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in biofuel production with a special focus on pollutants control, which is both necessary and beneficial for the target audience and the development of this research field. Biofuel is currently a major trend due to the existing environmental crises and global energy challenges. Developing sustainable biofuels from biomass feedstock and solid waste, along with minimizing the formation of pollutants during the conversion processes are currently of significant academic and industrial importance, drawing widespread attention. Novel processes, reactions, and catalysts are being rapidly developed, and compiling this information is invaluable for keeping the audience informed and up-to-date. In addition, while research on the formation and transformation of pollutants such as heavy metals, chlorine, nitrogen, and sulfur species are often conducted by environmental scientists and engineers, it is less familiar to bioenergy researchers. This book aims to bridge the gap between relevant disciplines and presents a comprehensive overview of the entire research field.
