Sustainable Radiation Technologies in Waste-Biomass Valorization: Greener Energy and High-Value Product Generation
暫譯: 可持續輻射技術在廢棄生物質增值中的應用：綠色能源與高價值產品生成

本書闡述了過去和近期在基於輻射技術的進展，並探討其在廢棄生物質增值中的應用。輻射技術對於生物質的預處理非常有用，可以克服生物質的難處理性，或將生物質直接轉換為生物油或高價值產品。本書展示了幾種基於輻射的技術的技術面向，例如微波、超聲波、伽馬射線、X射線、激光和電場。這些高度先進的尖端技術是一種可持續的方法，具有增值和廢物修復的雙重目的。這些技術正處於不同的發展階段，並已嘗試將其推向大規模應用；因此，本書專注於每種技術的不同發展階段，以及未來的建議和意見。本書不僅試圖涵蓋設備的設計和運作等技術方面，還涵蓋了每種技術的當前工業前景。它針對挑戰其增長和推向大規模應用的瓶頸進行探討，並介紹了技術在工業中實施的成本、市場覆蓋和政府政策。最後，本書提供了基於輻射技術的未來展望和機會，以促進未來廢棄生物質基礎的生物精煉廠的可持續增長。本書提供了來自多個科學領域的跨學科觀點，對機械工程、化學工程、生物物理學、生物加工、高價值產品生成和生物精煉等各個領域的廣泛讀者均有幫助和價值。
