Renewable Raw Materials: New Feedstocks for the Chemical Industry

Renewable Raw Materials: New Feedstocks for the Chemical Industry By Roland Ulber, Dieter Sell, Thomas Hirth
2011 | 244 Pages | ISBN: 3527325484 | PDF | 3 MB

One of the main challenges facing the chemical industry is the transition to sustainable operations. Industries are taking initiatives to reduce resource intensities or footprints, and by adopting safer materials and processes. Such efforts need to be supported by techniques that can quantify the broad economic and environmental implications of industrial operations, retrofit options and provide new design alternatives.

This contemporary overview focuses on cradle-to-grave life cycle assessments of existing or conceptual processes for producing value added fuels, chemicals, and/or materials from renewable agricultural residues, plant-derived starches and oils, lignocellulosic biomass, and plant-based industrial processing wastes.

It presents the key concepts, systems, and technologies, with an emphasis on new feedstocks for the chemical industry. Each chapter uses common themes of specific raw materials, thus forming a natural progression throughout the book. The result is coverage from a wide range of perspectives, emphasizing not only the technical issues but also considering the market place and socio-economic aspects.
Watch an interview with Roland Ulber on ChemistryViews. He tells us to what extent raw materials are changing the industry, what his no. 1 piece of advice for anyone new entering the industry is, and more.

Sustainable development is now accepted as a necessary goal for achieving societal, economic and environmental objectives. Within this chemistry has a vital role to play. The chemical industry is successful but traditionally success has come at a heavy cost to the environment. The challenge for chemists and others is to develop new products, processes and services that achieve societal, economic and environmental benefits.

This requires an approach that reduces the materials and energy intensity of chemical processes and products; minimises the dispersion of harmful chemicals in the environment; maximises the use of renewable resources and extends the durability and recyclability of products in a way that increases industrial competitiveness as well as improve its tarnished image.

Lou Honary, Erwin Richter, "Biobased Lubricants and Greases: Technology and Products"
Wi... | 2011-06-07 | ISBN: 0470741589 | 238 pages | PDF | 101 MB

Due to the rise in petroleum prices as well as increasing environmental concerns, there is a need to develop biochemicals and bioproducts that offer realistic alternatives to their traditional counterparts; this book will address the lack of a centralized resource of information on lubricants and greases from renewable sources, and will be useful to a wide audience in industry and academia. It is based on 20 years of research and development at the UNI-NABL Center, and discusses the various types of vegetable oils available, comparing their characteristics, properties and benefits against those of typical petroleum oils as well as discussing common evaluation tests and giving examples and case studies of successful applications of biobased lubricants and greases. Whilst scientific and engineering research data is included, the book is written in an accessible manner and is illustrated throughout.

* Focuses on an industrial application of lubrication technology undergoing current explosive growth in the global market.
* Includes a detailed review of the material benefits of plant-based lubricants that include a better viscosity index and lubricity even at extreme temperatures, lower flammability due to higher flash points and lower pour points.
* Covers the basic chemistry of vegetable oils as well as their profiles for use in lubricants and greases and environmental benefits.
* Includes examples and case studies of where vegetable-based lubricants have been successfully employed in industry applications.
