\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eImprovements in Bio-Based Building Blocks Production Through Process Intensification and Sustainability Concepts\u003c/i\u003e discusses new information on the production and cost of bio-based building blocks. From a technical point-of-view, almost all industrial materials made from fossil resources can be substituted using bio-based counterparts. However, the cost of bio-based production in many cases exceeds the cost of petrochemical production. In addition, new products must be proven to perform at least as good as their petrochemical equivalents, have a lower environmental impact, meet consumer demand for environmentally-friendly products, factor in population growth, and account for limited supplies of non-renewables. \u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book outlines the application of process intensification techniques which allow for the generation of clean, efficient and economical processes for bio-based chemical blocks production.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes synthesis and process design strategies for intensified processes\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDescribes multi-objective optimization applied to the production of bio-based building blocks\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents the controllability of processes where the production of bio-based building blocks is involved\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides examples using aspen and MATLAB\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroduces several sustainable indexes to evaluate production processes\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents process intensification techniques to improve performance in productive processes\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e |
