{"product_id":"green-chemistry-and-sustainable-technology-9783662549599","title":"Green Chemistry and Sustainable Technology","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book presents an overview of various types of lignin and their unique structures and properties, as well as utilizations of crude or modified technical lignin for high-value bioproducts such as lignin-based PF resins\/adhesives, epoxy resins, PF foams, PU foams, rubber reinforcement and carbon fibers and as dispersants in drilling fluids in the oil and gas industry. It subsequently discusses various thermal\/chemical modification techniques (pyrolysis, direct liquefaction and de-polymerization) for converting lignin into oils and chemical feedstocks, and the utilization of crude lignin, lignin-derived oils or depolymerized lignins (DLs) of reduced molecular weights and improved reactivity to produce lignin-based PF resins\/adhesives, PF\/PU foams and epoxy resins.The book will interest and benefit a broad readership (graduate students, academic researchers, industrial researchers and practitioners) in various fields of science and technology (chemical engineering, biotechnology, chemistry, material science, forestry, etc.).Chunbao (Charles) Xu, PhD, is currently a Professor of Chemical Engineering and NSERC\/FPInnovations Industrial Research Chair in Forest Biorefinery at the University of Western Ontario, Canada.Fatemeh Ferdosian, PhD, is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Waterloo, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54180357964055,"sku":null,"price":12449.44,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6918\/8119\/files\/9783662549599.jpg?v=1784551988","url":"https:\/\/payment.letskitaboo.com\/products\/green-chemistry-and-sustainable-technology-9783662549599","provider":"Kitaboo One eStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
