Descripción

Recent Advances in Biodiesel Production: Mechanisms, Processes and Technologies brings together the latest developments in the production of biodiesel, namely related to the type and features of catalysts, operating reaction conditions, yields and specifications of obtained biodiesel, also covering novel areas such as the use of machine learning and data mining.. This latest volume in the Woodhead Series in Bioenergy is of interest to researchers, faculty, scientists, engineers, industrial practitioners, and graduate and postgraduate students working on the production and usage of biodiesel-derived fuels, and across energy, renewable energy, transport systems, chemical engineering, catalysis, and decarbonization.
