ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering Virtual Special Issue on Recent Advances in Biomass Characterization and Modeling
Abstract
Recognizing the importance of biomass characterization and modeling, a virtual special issue (VSI) entitled Recent Advances in Biomass Characterization and Modeling was organized to showcase the recent contributions to this emerging field. This VSI features contributions from leading scientists in the biorefinery field, intending to provide the readers with the latest advances in analytical methodology and modeling to characterize biomass feedstocks and biomass-derived products. Further, the VSI contains perspectives and research articles. Advanced analytical methods that measure the mechanical, chemical, physical, biological, and other properties of biomass and biomass pyrolysis products are described along with their application’s limitations in two perspectives. Biomass is a multicomponent/multiscale, complex, nonconducting, and highly heterogeneous material; thus, it could be problematic for many characterization techniques. Traditional biomass analysis tools that are slow, laborious, and generally require harsh reagents have been replaced or supplemented by simpler and more rapid chromatographic and spectroscopic approaches such as GC-MS, HPLC, FTIR, Raman, and NMR spectroscopies.
