Fossil fuels still need to meet the growing demand of global economic development, yet they are often considered as one of the main sources of the CO2 release in the atmosphere. CO2, which is the primary greenhouse gas (GHG), is periodically exchanged among the land surface, ocean, and atmosphere where various creatures absorb and produce it daily. However, the balanced processes of producing and consuming the CO2 by nature are unfortunately faced by the anthropogenic release of CO2. Decreasing the emissions of these greenhouse gases is becoming more urgent. Therefore, carbon sequestration and storage (CSS) of CO2, its utilization in oil recovery, as well as its conversion into fuels and chemicals emerge as active options and potential strategies to mitigate CO2 emissions and climate change, energy crises, and challenges in the storage of energy.

Extensively revised and updated, Handbook of Water Analysis, Third Edition provides current analytical techniques for detecting various compounds in water samples. Maintaining the detailed and accessible style of the previous editions, this third edition demonstrates water sampling and preservation methods by enumerating different ways to measure chemical and radiological characteristics. It gives step-by-step descriptions of separation, residue determination, and clean-up techniques. See What’s New in the Second Edition: Includes five new chapters covering ammonia, nitrates, nitrites, and petroleum hydrocarbons, as well as organoleptical and algal analysis methodology Compares older metho...
Effective disaster management in an age of more frequent and devastating calamities requires creative solutions. This book explores the revolutionary possibilities of Federated Learning (FL) in crisis management, providing an all-inclusive manual that connects theory with practice. Learn how FL can change the game for disaster response and recovery decision-making, resource allocation, predictive modeling, and information sharing. Readers in the fields of emergency response, governance, research, and technology will find this book's wealth of real-world case studies and examples to be an important resource. It shows how FL improves catastrophe readiness and response by letting strong models be built while data privacy is maintained across decentralized sources. With a comprehensive roadmap that includes enhancing early warning systems, optimizing resource distribution, and integrating cutting-edge technologies like IoT, blockchain, and advanced AI, this book provides a clear explanation of how to use FL to protect communities, infrastructure, and lives during disasters.
This book covers petroleum refining and gas purification processes, including refinery configurations comprising of relevant units with special emphasis on processing of heavy crudes with high acid number. It includes a short review of distillation principles, distillation column auxiliaries, critical column pressure control strategies, critical issues of crude and vacuum distillation units particularly for heavy crude processing. Different corrosion mechanisms and their prevention with regards to heavy high TAN crude processing are also included. Fundamentals are explained with support of steady-state simulation and presented with simulation flowsheets and outputs, supported by examples of ...
Esta obra, continuación da Historia social da lingua galega, ofrece unha aproximación de conxunto ao período franquista. Nela analízase a política lingüística represiva da ditadura, consistente na imposición coactiva do castelán e na marxinación sistemática do galego, e aténdese ás dinámicas sociais que abocaron a un proceso de substitución masiva do galego. O seu foco sitúase na resistencia político-cultural galeguista, nomeadamente, na súa estratexia dirixida a constituír un sistema cultural autónomo, co idioma como o seu elemento definidor. Analízanse os avances conseguidos no estudo, cultivo e elaboración do galego e os debates públicos que se desenvolveron ao redor de todas estas cuestións.
This reference book originates from the interdisciplinary research cooperation between academia and industry. In three distinct parts, latest results from basic research on stable enzymes are explained and brought into context with possible industrial applications. Downstream processing technology as well as biocatalytic and biotechnological production processes from global players display the enormous potential of biocatalysts. Application of "extreme" reaction conditions (i.e. unconventional, such as high temperature, pressure, and pH value) - biocatalysts are normally used within a well defined process window - leads to novel synthetic effects. Both novel enzyme systems and the synthetic routes in which they can be applied are made accessible to the reader. In addition, the complementary innovative process technology under unconventional conditions is highlighted by latest examples from biotech industry.
The purpose of this book is to offer innovative applications of the distillation process. The book is divided in two main sections, one containing chapters that deal with process design and calculations, and the other, chapters that discuss distillation applications. Moreover, the chapters involve wide applications as in fruit spirits production, in organic liquid compounds produced by oil and fats cracking, energy evaluation in distillation processes, and applicability of solar membrane distillation. I believe that this book will provide new ideas and possibilities of the development of innovative research lines for the readers.
