Biodiesel Production Techniques – The State of the Art

This is a book on the state of the art of scientific research applied to the fields of viticulture, management of the foliage, manual and mechanical harvesting, vinification techniques, the use of mixed yeast cultures, malolactic fermentation and microoxygenation. It synthetically illustrates the lines of research that the Consorzio Tuscania has co-ordinated in the four-year period 2007-2010. Each of these lines of research has been conducted in liaison with some of the most important scientific institutions in the sector: CNR Ibimet, DIPROVE (University of Milan), IASMA-FEM, University of Florence (DEISTAF, DIPSA, DIBA Departments), SAIFET (University-Polytechnic of the Marches) and DISAABA (University of Sassari). The work offer useful cues for updating the production techniques for quality red wines.

Transformation Processes

Biorefining is sustainable biomass processing to obtain energy, biofuels and high value products through processes and equipment for biomass transformation. The biorefinery concept has been identified as the most promising way to create a biomass-based industry. Microalgae are classified as promising candidates in biorefinery processes because they are particularly important for obtaining multiple products. This review article describes the biorefinery concept taking into account its different interpretations and comparing it with the traditional biomass transformation processes. It describes the general characteristics of microalgae, and their potential to be used as a raw material in the biorefinery process. The review focuses on the state of the art of products obtained from microalgae for the biofuel industry, mainly for biodiesel production, and the different methods to extract oil for biodiesel production as well as other products. Based on this information, several aspects are suggested to be taken into account for the development of a topology for a microalgae-based biorefinery.

Molecular Skeleton

Various authors have emphasized the spatial information resident in an electron micrograph taken with adequately coherent radiation. In view of the completion of at least one such instrument, this opportunity is taken to summarize the state of the art of processing such micrographs. We use the usual symbols for the aberration coefficients, and supplement these with £ and 6 for the transverse coherence length and the fractional energy spread respectively. He also assume a weak, biologically interesting sample, with principal interest lying in the molecular skeleton remaining after obvious hydrogen loss and other radiation damage has occurred.
