Chemical Processing and Engineering of Forest Products investigates the use of chemical or biochemical processing to modify agricultural and forestry biomass resources. This is a comprehensive discipline that integrates knowledge of the chemical composition and structure of agricultural and forestry biomass resources with an understanding of chemical and biochemical processing methods, technology development and chemical process and equipment design. Building on the theories of organic chemistry, the chemistry of forest products, chemical engineering principles and chemical processing technology, this discipline mainly involves research into chemical or biological transformations and the processing and utilization of agricultural and forestry biomass resources.
