Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Nature's amazing chemistry has been producing all the raw materials essential for life on Earth for billions of years. The chemistry is, however, diverse and often complex and challenging. It has unfathomable depths that chemists and other scientists around the world are still attempting to probe and understand. Chapters in this book reflect Michael Freemantle's fascination with nature's chemistry not only of humans and other animals, but also of plants and minerals. You will discover: - the chemistry of fruit flies, lobsters and beavers; - the chemistry of snowdrops, wild cabbages and Himalayan blue poppies; - the chemistry of minerals containing cobalt and other elements, the mining of which has in some cases led to environmental degradation and human rights abuses. Michael Freemantle is a science writer who has written numerous books and articles on chemistry, the history of science and related topics. They include The Chemists' War: 1914-1918 published by the Royal Society of Chemistry.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Widely used across many sectors, including oil refining, gas separation, CO2 capture and environmental remediation, zeolites are among the most important industrial, heterogeneous catalysts. This introductory book expands readers' understanding of zeolite chemistry while bringing them up to speed on new discoveries and current trends in this area of research. Covering several topics, ranging from structure and synthesis to specific applications, Zeolites provides readers with a solid foundation to further explore these fascinating materials. Following a historical retrospective of research on these materials, Zeolites highlights their key mechanisms of synthesis and characterization, current and emerging applications in industry and environmental issues. For undergraduate and graduate students alike, as well as for researchers new to the topic, this book introduces the significant impact and untapped potential of zeolites in catalysis.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) are an emerging class of persistent organic pollutants. Although their thermal/chemical stability and water/stain repellence enable their widespread use in various products, such as personal care products, food packaging and firefighting foams, these properties also make them particularly resistant to degradation. This unwelcome persistence, with their trace concentrations, environmental prevalence, bioaccumulation and probable toxicities, poses a potential threat to environmental and human health. As such, much work is directed to finding ways to efficiently abate PFAS in the environment. Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substance Treatment Technologies provides a thorough review of the current state of research in treatment technologies for removing PFAS from the environment, particularly water. Beginning with a brief introduction to PFAS challenges and research needs, it covers established and promising technologies for PFAS removal from drinking water, wastewater, and groundwater. This is a great book for environmental engineers, environmental chemists, and industrialists interested in pollution remediation.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Packing problems, which are concerned with optimal arrangements of objects in space, are cross-disciplinary in nature and are encountered in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, and architecture. Such problems form a subject of interest in its own right, providing intriguing intellectual challenges, but are also at the heart of many material properties of condensed matter. In view of this, a series of international conferences on packing problems was launched in 2012 to provide a platform for soft-matter researchers to disseminate their findings. To continue the spirit of this conference series, this international community of researchers has also been invited to contribute reviews of their research to this book. Covering topics on models of ordered and disordered packings, mechanical behaviour of packings, and applications in soft matter and biology, this book provides a broad and authoritative overview of current research.…
