Session: Reactor Engineering for Biomass Feedstocks (2008 Annual Meeting)

Friday, November 21, 2008: 8:00 AM

Room 202-A (Pennsylvania Convention Center)

Description:

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.

Sponsor:
