Sustainable Production of Bulk Chemicals

The book describes in detail the authors’ current understanding of the models that incorporate the concepts and
techniques of synthetic chemistry, chemical engineering, synthetic biology and
bioengineering. These include chemical engineering methods for green chemical
production from sustainable bio-resources; using synthetic chemistry and
kinetics of chemical reaction concepts in the construction of non-natural enzymes
and bio-pathways, partial integration of bioconversion steps in chemical
synthesis routes; integration of chemo-, bio- conversion steps in one system;
microbial production of chemicals from economic chemo-resourced chemicals; and
chemical production of value-added derivatives from bio-based amino acids. It provides
a valuable reference source for laboratory and industrial
professionals in a number of chemical and biological disciplines such as
synthetic chemistry, synthetic biology, chemical engineering, biotechnology,
microbiology, molecular biology, etc. Dr. MoXian is a Professor
at Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology, Chinese Academy of
Sciences, Qingdao, China.
