2006 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: Reactor Engineering for Biomass Feedstocks

Emphasis on fundamental reactor engineering for the conversion of biomass to combustible gases, "biocrude" and "biodiesel" oils, bioethanol, and biocarbons. Favor papers demonstrating the sound application of core scientific and engineering principles.
