Catalysis in Cellulose Valorization

Meeting the great need for a reference that covers the fundamentals, methods and trends in cellulose valorization, this book provides a comprehensive overview of this hot and emerging field, while also addressing possible strategies and the remaining challenges regarding the development of catalysts and reaction systems for the controlled transformation of cellulose. As a result, the book text not only discusses the one-step transformation into platform chemicals based on cellulose, but equally emphasizes multistep transformations and examples of process integration.
Edited by an international rising star in the community, this is of high interest to chemists in academia and industry alike.
