T7005 Reactor Engineering for Biomass Feedstocks
OverviewThis session will emphasize the fundamentals of reactor engineering for the conversion of biomass to combustible gases, "biocrude" and "biodiesel" oils, bioethanol, and biocarbons. Papers will be favored that demonstrate the application of sound scientific and core chemical engineering principles.
