Catalytic Hydrogenation for Biomass Valorization

The efficient conversion of biomass to value-added products has become a major research area in the persuit of alternatives to petroleum-based feedstocks; hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis are important tools to acheiving this aim. This book presents a comprehensive examination of the catalysts, reactions, and products obtainable using these tools, with consideration given to the biorefinery concept. The editor is a leading figure in the conversion of lignin through hydrogenation, and has brought together leading researchers from across the globe to ensure a thorough examination of the potential biomass hydrogenation to meet the needs of the future.
