2013 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: Biological Conversions and Processes for Renewable Feedstocks I

Explore advances in biological conversions and processes for renewable feedstocks. Topics may include production of biofuels and chemicals from biomass and other renewable sources through biochemical and hybrid biochemical-thermochemical conversion pathways. Favor papers demonstrating the sound application of core scientific and engineering principles.
