Reaction Engineering for Biomass Conversion Conference: AIChE Annual MeetingYear: 2016Proceeding: 2016 AIChE Annual MeetingGroup: Catalysis and Reaction Engineering Division Type: Oral Room: Franciscan B Location: Hilton San Francisco Union Square Time: Wednesday, November 16, 2016 - 8:30am-11:00am Chair(s):Resende, F., University of Washington Co-chair(s):Hutchenson, K. W., DuPont Company Crop residues, forest residues, woody biomass, and plant-based industrial processing woody biomass wastes provide a broad renewable feedstock base for developing energy efficient and environmentally sustainable processes for producing a wide range of chemicals, fuels, and bio-based materials. This session provides a forum for the application of Reaction Engineering in the biomass conversion area. Attempt will be made to publish a special issue on a journal for selected papers presented in this session along with other related sessions.
