Book Description
Petroleum-based industrial products have gradually replaced products derived from biological materials. However, biologically based products are making a comebackâ€"because of a threefold increase in farm productivity and new technologies. Biobased Industrial Products envisions a biobased industrial future, where starch will be used to make biopolymers and vegetable oils will become a routine component in lubricants and detergents. Biobased Industrial Products overviews the U.S. land resources available for agricultural production, summarizes plant materials currently produced, and describes prospects for increasing varieties and yields. The committee discusses the concept of the biorefinery and outlines proven and potential thermal, mechanical, and chemical technologies for conversion of natural resources to industrial applications. The committee also illustrates the developmental dynamics of biobased products through existing examples, as well as products still on the drawing board, and it identifies priorities for research and development.

Non-food Uses of Agricultural Raw Materials
Author: Caroline A. Spelman
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
Interest has recently grown in the non-food uses of agricultural raw materials (ARMs), particularly in developed economies. Reasons for this include the fact that in Western Europe at least, land is now surplus to food production requirements and concern about the environmental consequences of exploiting finite fossil resources. The end products sought for non-food uses are carbohydrates, fats and fibres derived from both conventional crops such as wheat, maize, oilseed rape, sugar beet and flax, as well as less conventional crops or byproducts such as lupins, elephant grass, straw and agricultural waste. This book provides an integrated perspective on both the technology and economics of the processes involved. In many cases, ARMs have to compete with cheaper substrates such as oil. The author analyzes two case studies in detail: bioethanol and a particular biodegradable plastic. Relevant political and legislative aspects, for example in the United States, Japan and the European community, as well as in less-developed countries such as Brazil, the Caribbean and some African countries where ARMs are used for energy purposes are also studied. The book will interest a wide range of people in academic research, industry and policy making concerned with the practical potential of this area of biotechnology.

Book Description
"In Raw Material, Stephany Wilkes tells not only her own story, but also that of American wool. What begins as a knitter's search for local yarn becomes a dirty, unlikely, and irresistible side job. Wilkes become a certified sheep shearer and wool classer, working at the very first step in the textile supply chain, ultimately leaving her high-tech job for a new way of life considered long dead in the American West."--Provided by publisher.
