The second edition of The Chemistry of Clay-Organic Reactions book provides a comprehensive and fully updated summary of the literature on the interactions of clay minerals with organic molecules, including reaction mechanisms and bonding modes together with their practical and industrial applications. The reader will gain an insight into the formation and properties of complexes between clay minerals and a variety of organic compounds and the use of such complexes as sorbents and carriers of organic pollutants, pesticides, dyes, and pharmaceuticals. KEY FEATURES An authoritative resource providing a detailed synthesis of published data on clay-organic complexes and reactions. Authored by a globally recognized expert in the field. Describes developments in the interactions of organic compounds with fibrous and short-range order clay minerals. This book is written for environmental and industrial chemists, organic geochemists, and soil scientists, and it will appeal to academics, researchers, industry professionals, and graduate students.
Formation and Properties of Clay-Polymer Complexes provides a comprehensive account of the reactions between clay minerals and organic polymers. The book opens with a discussion of the structures of common clay minerals, clays colloid chemistry, and the behaviour of organic polymers at clay surfaces. This is followed by a systematic treatment of complex formation between clay minerals and various classes of synthetic and naturally occurring polymers, a description of the properties of the resulting complexes and, wherever appropriate, their practical applications. The book will have a new separate chapter on clay-polymer nanocomposites. Each chapter is written as a self-contained review paper, giving a list of reference to the original literature. Describes the important development in clay-polymer nanocomposites Contains new figures and diagrams Extenisve revision of the previous edition
Reflecting the growing volume of published work in this field, researchers will find this book an invaluable source of information on current methods and applications.
Cellulosic fibers are becoming increasingly important in many industrial sectors. Indeed, their availability, low cost, and durability make them suitable for application in various fields. This book presents important information about the structure of cellulose as well as its uses and applications. Topics covered include: the dynamic modeling of cellulose industry systems for biofuels in the United States; the integration of alternative raw materials to wood in biorefinery processes; the influence of size classification on the properties of cellulose materials; the chemistry of cellulose, its extraction, and its properties; cellulases; and enzymatic treatments for producing surface activation on cellulosic fibers.
This title in the authoritative Interface Science and Technology Series presents the key features and applications of modified oxide and phosphate surfaces. * Examines both basic and applied aspects * Incorporates examples from recent publications.
Vols. for 1963- include as pt. 2 of the Jan. issue: Medical subject headings.
This book is the first of two volumes intended to replace the old and now out of print Precis de pedologie, the previous three editions of which were pro duced by the same publisher in 1960, 1965 and 1970. It was apparent that the term 'precis', which means that the text was neces sarily condensed and summarised, no longer corresponded with the present day situation, for pedology has developed considerably in the past 10 years and it now makes use of the most modern and varied research techniques. It has become an entirely separate discipline and has assumed, at least in certain countries, considerable importance. In addition, different schools of thought have developed and their sometimes c...
