Summary
A central part at biorefinery plants is the conversion of raw materials to the product of interest. The conversion process can be chemical or biological. The chemical conversion will be explained in this chapter and the biological conversion in Chapter 9. The basic principle for the chemical reaction process will be explained, including catalytic reactions, reaction kinetics, and mass transport
