Call for papers and symposium announcement: The conference (October 19 -22, 2010 in King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort St. Simons Island, Georgia, USA) will emphasize the latest developments on transformation of renewable carbon building blocks to chemicals and materials, enabling the integrated biorefinery concept. Individual sessions will consider advances in biomass fractionation and separations, catalytic processes tailored for renewables, identification of new biobased platforms for larger product families, and processes that rival or exceed the diversity and efficiency of today’s chemical industry. Please visit the web site http://www.utbioenergy.org/OBP/FIB2010/index.html for more information.
Contributed papers addressing novel chemical co-products, materials, and biorefinery technology development are requested.
