Title: Chemical Reaction Engineering of Biomass Conversion
Abstract: Catalysis and reaction engineering are the key disciplines in a successful conversion of molecules from biomass to end products. The interaction of kinetics, mass transfer, and flow pattern in the processing of biomass is reviewed. A special attention should be paid on the catalytic multiphase transformation of biomass. Chemical analysis and precise kinetic measurements combined to mathematical modeling are the basic elements in the scientific development of the reaction engineering of biomass conversion. Advanced kinetic concepts, such as cluster kinetics, size-dependent kinetics, can be combined to the models of porous catalyst particles and chemical reactors. Challenges and visions for future reaction engineering of biomass conversion are presented.
