Bio-based chemicals from biorefining: protein conversion and utilisation

摘要: Abstract: The depletion of fossil feedstocks, fluctuating oil prices and the ecological problems associated with CO 2 emissions are forcing development alternative resources for energy, transportation fuels chemicals: replacement biomass. conversion crude products utilises hydrocarbons to (functional) chemicals aid co-reagents, such as ammonia, various process steps. Conversely, proteins amino acids, found in biomass, contain functionality. It is therefore attractive exploit this reduce use, preparation of, co-reagents well eliminating This chapter describes how biorefineries can add value protein containing rest streams by using acids economically ecologically interesting feedstocks that, taking advantage chemical structure biomass streams, a more efficient application be developed other than solely utilising it production or electricity.
