Separations and purifications are necessary for upstream processes as well as in maximising and improving product recovery in downstream processes. These processes account for a significant fraction of the total capital and operating costs and also are highly energy intensive. Consequently, a better understanding of separation and purification processes, current and possible alternative and novel advanced methods is essential for achieving the overall techno-economic feasibility and commercial success of sustainable biorefineries. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book presents a comprehensive overview focused specifically on the present state, future challenges and opportunities for separation and purification methods and technologies in biorefineries. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eTopics covered include: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEquilibrium Separations:\u003c\/b\u003e Distillation, liquid-liquid extraction and supercritical fluid extraction. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAffinity-Based Separations:\u003c\/b\u003e Adsorption, ion exchange, and simulated moving bed technologies. \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMembrane Based Separations:\u003c\/b\u003e Microfiltration, ultrafiltration and diafiltration, nanofiltration, membrane pervaporation, and membrane distillation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSolid-liquid Separations:\u003c\/b\u003e Conventional filtration and solid-liquid extraction. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHybrid\/Integrated Reaction-Separation Systems:\u003c\/b\u003e Membrane bioreactors, extractive fermentation, reactive distillation and reactive absorption. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor each of these processes, the fundamental principles and design aspects are presented, followed by a detailed discussion and specific examples of applications in biorefineries.
