A. V Ponomarev (EDT), B.G Ershov (EDT) Deep Decomposition of Wood

Annotation

Productive direct conversion of lignocelluloses into liquid organic products by electron distillation of crude wood or by dry distillation of preliminarily irradiated wood is considered. Electron-beam conversion is several times more effective than ordinary hydrolytic, pyrogenous or enzymatic processing of wood. Distillation of wood by electron-beam energy yields a number of the useful reagents for heavy organic synthesis and fuel productions. In particular, this path results in high yield of furans - perspective raw materials for production of high-quality alternative fuel which is compatible to conventional engine fuel and the up-to-date types of automobile engines. This new book discusses that the electron-beam irradiation of binary wood-bitumen or wood-polymer inter-mixtures is characterized by sinergistic destruction of components.
