Abstract
A survey on the principles of wood and plant biomass conversion to chemicals and fuels is given. Besides combustion, yielding heat, the thermal decomposition processes of carbonization (pyrolysis), gasification and liquefaction deliver fuels and chemicals. By saccharification the polysaccharides are hydrolyzed to sugars and by-products. The pulping processes producing fibrous materials are of greatest technical importance. Apart from known processes new technologies aim at utilizing all wood components.
