2015 AIChE Annual Meeting Proceedings

Session: Reaction Kinetics and Transport Fundamentals for Biomass Conversion II

This session will emphasize understanding reaction kinetics and transport processes and their effects on the performance of biomass conversion processes. Both modeling and experimental studies are sought, with preference for contributions that develop new fundamental insights.
