Basis of Environmental Chemistry for Biomass
Chemical elements are renewed in the environment, being removed and returned to nature continuously by means biological, chemical and geological processes, constituting the biogeochemical cycles. The carbon footprint, a derived application of this cycle,

Preface
The agroindustry based on the plant biomass processing is a global sector that promotes wealth from several crops and their products such as food, feed, fibres, bioenergy, among others. Unfortunately, the high production and productivity of the raw materials (e.g. grains) and their processed products also generate wastes and residues in great amounts, which demands technologies for their treatment in order to turn the agriculture and its production chains more sustainable. From this observation, the subject of this book is present and discusses technologies that allow applied strategies of treatment with positive environmental, societal and economic impacts to the society. Chapter 1 presents the global biomass production and availability from crops and agrofood processing industry, the main types of plant biomass and its relation with UN Sustainable Development Goals. Nowadays, the world crop production is in the order of 7.26 Gtonnes of total production with a generation of 140 Gtonnes of dry biomass waste. This hu
