| Publisher Description: This book describes how bioprocessing and biotechnology could enhance the value extracted from wood-based lignocellulosic fiber by employing biochemical and thermochemical methods. It documents recent accomplishments and suggests future potential for integrated forest biorefineries (IFBR) in the pulp, paper and other fiber-processing industries. This is the only book to cover this area of high economic, social and environmental importance. It targets a wide readership of industrialists and academics with different science and engineering backgrounds. The Editor and contributors are internationally recognized scientists and many are leaders in their respective fields. |
