Reaction Kinetics and Transport Fundamentals for Biomass Conversion Conference: AIChE Annual MeetingYear: 2013Proceeding: 2013 AIChE Annual MeetingGroup: Sustainable Engineering Forum Type: Oral Room: Mason A Location: Hilton Time: Friday, November 8, 2013 - 8:30am-11:00am Chair(s):Lloyd, T. A., Mascoma Corporation Co-chair(s):Stickel, J. J., National Renewable Energy Laboratory This session will emphasize understanding reaction kinetics and transport processes and their effects on the performance of biomass conversion processes. Both modeling and experimental studies are sought, with preference for contributions that develop new fundamental insights.
