  • More about Biomass-Derived Humins: Formation, Chemistry and Structure

This book explores the chemical structure and formation mechanism of biomass-derived humins,which are formed during biomass conversion and can hinder downstream products. It provides a comprehensive overview of humins from simple molecular models to raw biomass resources and discusses their valorization and future perspectives. It is an informative resource for undergraduates, postgraduates, lecturers, and researchers interested in biomass conversion.

Publisher: Springer Verlag, Singapore


This comprehensive book delves into the intricate realm of atom economic utilization of biomass resources, shedding light on the challenges posed by the formation of humins during the conversion process. Humins, unavoidable byproducts of biomass conversion, inadvertently compete with desired products, impede catalyst activity, and hinder catalyst recycling and product separation. To enhance the efficiency of biomass conversion toward downstream products, a profound understanding of the chemical structure and formation mechanisms of humins is essential.

The book primarily focuses on presenting a detailed analysis of the chemical structure and formation mechanisms of diverse biomass-derived humins, ranging from simple molecular models to raw biomass resources. Through advanced analytical interpretation, the book systematically summarizes the chemical similarities and differences among various biomass-derived humins, offering a comprehensive perspective for readers with backgrounds in chemistry, engineering, and material science. Furthermore, it explores the progress made in humins valorization and discusses future perspectives, making it an invaluable resource for undergraduates, postgraduates, lecturers, and researchers engaged in biomass conversion from academia and industry, spanning from entry-level to professional levels.
