2015 AIChE Annual Meeting Proceedings

Session: Thermochemical Conversion of Biomass I

This session focuses on thermochemical conversion of lignocellulosic biomass, which includes the production of liquid intermediates and syngas, its upgrading and cleanup process, and the analysis of materials and products.
