The series Topics in Current Chemistry Collections presents critical reviews from the journal Topics in Current Chemistry organized in topical volumes. The scope of coverage is all areas of chemical science including the interfaces with related disciplines such as biology, medicine and materials science. The goal of each thematic volume is to give the non-specialist reader, whether in academia or industry, a comprehensive insight into an area where new research is emerging which is of interest to a larger scientific audience.
Each review within the volume critically...

An authoritative and comprehensive volume of knowledge and green technologies wholly focused on the future of the bioeconomy. The authors present data, show opportunities, discuss R&D findings, analyze strategies, assess the wider economic impact, showcase achievements, criticize policies and propose solutions for the green revolution in biofuels, biochemicals and biomaterials' production and power generation.
A fascinating range of case studies from the US, China and many European countries are used to inform readers about the impact of this field on society and how various...

Synthesis and design of new nanocatalysts is an important area of research that aims to introduce multiple types of useful applications in a greener market. The necessity of nanostructuring the active sites have emerged as the key point in a successful design of the catalysts. This book covers the progress achieved in this area of research over the last ten years and includes the classification of catalysts and structure of active sites at the nanoscale. Examples are provided to present the concept and evolution of nanocatalysts from the perspective of chemistry of materials and their...

The book gives an overview on all relevant electrochemical and spectroscopic methods used in corrosion research. In addition to helping the reader choose the accurate method for a particular corrosion aspect, the various methods are correlated with industrial test methods for both the corrosion on metals (steel, zinc coated steel and aluminum) and the corrosion on coated metals (organic coatings and pre-treatments).

This book provides a balanced blend of fundamental concepts of fabrication, characterization of conventional ceramics, extending to present the recent advances in ceramic membranes. It covers the basic concepts of ceramic membranes as well as practical and theoretical knowledge in conventional and advanced ceramic membranes combined with unorthodox ideas for novel approaches in ceramic membranes. Book includes lot of real time examples derived largely from research work by authors. Aimed at researchers, students and academics in the field of membrane engineering around the globe, it has...

Before the 1970s, most information concerning the conservation and restoration of paintings, wood, and archaeological artefacts were focused on the history of the artefacts, previous attempts of conservation, and the future use of these artefacts. The technical methods of how the restoration and conservation were made were dealt with only very briefly. Today, sophisticated methods of scientific analysis such as DNA are common place, and this encourages conservators and scientists to work together to work out the development of new methods for analysis and conservation of artefacts.

Pretreatment for Reverse Osmosis Desalination is a comprehensive reference on all existing and emerging seawater pretreatment technologies used for desalination. The book focuses on reverse osmosis membrane desalination, which at present is the most widely applied technology for the production of fresh drinking water from highly saline water sources (brackish water and seawater). Each chapter contains examples illustrating various pretreatment technologies and their practical implementation.

This book describes key aspects of the catalytic naphtha reforming process and provides practical information about operating catalytic reformers. It discusses fundamentals of the process and describes the three major technologies in use. Similarities and differences of the three technologies are highlighted and contrasted as are best practices for commercial applications of catalytic reformers to ensure to reliable and profitable operations. The book covers such topics as chloride management, precious metals management, and management of naphtha processing to meet MSAT 2 for gasoline...

The book offers concise but thorough coverage of the complex problem of asphaltene precipitation and deposition in oil production. It covers fundamentals of chemistry, stabilization theories and mechanistic approaches of asphaltene behavior at high temperature and pressure. It explains techniques for experimental determination of asphaltene precipitation and deposition and different modeling tools available to forecast the occurrence and magnitude of asphaltene deposition in a given oil field. It discusses strategies for mitigation of asphaltene deposition using chemical inhibition and...

MATLAB(R) has become one of the prominent languages used in research and industry and often described as "the language of technical computing." The focus of this book will be to highlight the use of MATLAB(R) in technical computing; or more specifically, in solving problems in Process Simulations. This book aims to bring a practical approach to expounding theories: both numerical aspects of stability and convergence, as well as linear and nonlinear analysis of systems.

The book is divided into three parts which are laid out with a "Process Analysis" viewpoint. First part...
