Biodiesel Fuels

ISBN-13: 9780367704940 / Miękka / 2023 / 432 str.

Opis

The first volume of the Handbook of Biodiesel and Petrodiesel Fuels focuses on introductory chapters on biooils, biodiesel fuels, and biodiesel fuel wastes (glycerol). This book focuses on the production and properties of bioenergy and biofuels, biochemicals, and other bioproducts produced from glycerol.
