Offers an overview of the recent theoretical and practical results achieved in gas-solid (G/S), liquid-solid (L/S), and gas-liquid (G/L) adsorption research.
The fact that the surfaces of real solids are geometrically distorted and chemically non-uniform has long been realized by the scientists investigating various phenomena occurring on solid surfaces. Even in the case when diffraction experiments show a well-organized bulk solid structure, the surface atoms or molecules will usually exhibit a much smaller degree of surface organization. In addition to the results obtained from electron diffraction, this can be seen in the impressive images obtained from STM and AFM microscopies. This geometric and chemical disorder is the source of the energetic heterogeneity for molecules adsorbing on real solid surfaces. Hundreds of papers have been publishe...
The Symposium ranges from the development of the separation technique to the future of analytical chemistry. The presentations in this proceedings volume are grouped into one lecture session and ten discussion sessions: Chemometrics & Computational Chemistry in Separation Science; Diagnosis by Clinical Trace Analysis (Biomedical Analysis, Drug Metabolism); Development of Packing Materials and Capillary Columns; Analytical Methods in Biotechnology, Carbohydrate Chemistry, Protein and Peptide Chemistry, Nucleic Acid Chemistry and Lipid Chemistry; Electromigration Methods and Applications; Answering Questions of Pharmaceutical Analysis, Environmental Analysis, Food Analysis and Industrial Analysis; Chemistry of Stationery Phase; Development of Analytical Methods Based on Molecular Recognition; Optimization of Separation; and Advances in Instruments.
The Fifth International Symposium on the Characterisation of Porous Solids (COPS-V) was held at Heidelberg, Germany, from May 30 to June 2, 1999. About 220 participants from 25 countries enjoyed a very successful meeting with 32 lectures and 155 poster presentations. The Symposium started with a highly stimulating lecture by Sir John Meurig Thomas, Cambridge, highlighting the recent developments in engineering of new catalysts. The following two full sessions were devoted to theory, modelling and simulation which provide the basis for the interpretation of pore structural data of adsorbents and finely dispersed solids. Sessions 2 and 3 focused on the advances in the synthesis and characterisation of highly ordered inorganic adsorbents and carbons. Sessions 4 and 5 addressed important questions with respect to the characterisation of porous solids by sorption measurement and other related techniques. The intensive three-day programme provided a stimulating forum for the exchange of novel research findings, concepts, techniques and materials which are collected in this volume.
Connecting inorganic chemistry to the hottest topic in materials science, this timely resource collects the contributions made by leading inorganic chemists towards nanomaterials research. The second volume in the “Wiley Encyclopedia of Inorganic Chemistry Methods and Applications Series,” this signature title concentrates on recent developments in the field and includes all key topics such as nanowires, nanotubes, biomineralization, supramolecular materials and much more. This volume is also available as part of Encyclopedia of Inorganic Chemistry, 5 Volume Set. This set combines all volumes published as EIC Books from 2007 to 2010, representing areas of key developments in the field of inorganic chemistry published in the Encyclopedia of Inorganic Chemistry.

This book provides insights into the mechanisms of primary carbonization and reviews the graphitization of various carbon materials under applied pressures. It discusses the changes in the thermal-mechanical properties of carbon/carbon composites due to stress effects.
Chemistry for Protection of the Environment
This volume gives an overview of the various ways to valorise biomass for energy production as well as for pollution treatment of contaminated soils and wastewaters. It focuses on the fact that we could produce renewable energy from biomass without using corn, sugarcane or colza oil, but lignocelluloses.
This issue of ECS Transactions includes some of the key contributions made to the symposium, entitled 'Electrode Processes Relevant to Fuel Cell Technology¿, held during the 217th meeting of The Electrochemical Society, in Vancouver, Canada, from April 25 to 30, 2010. Some of the key topics that were addressed include fundamental kinetics and mechanisms of multi-step reactions, especially the oxygen reduction reaction; kinetics and mechanisms of poisoning and other electrode degradation processes; modeling, simulation, and evaluation of electrode microstructure/performance relationships and related phenomena; computational modeling of fuel cell reaction mechanisms and kinetics at the molecular level; interfacial aspects; novel electrode materials; and new techniques to probe fuel cell electrode reactions.
Scarcity of resources and increasing population and energy demands are important issues of the twenty-first century. A multidisciplinary approach is needed to produce suitable alternatives—such as renewable resources—for a more sustainable future. One of the most promising and widely available renewable feedstocks is biomass, which has significant potential for conversion to materials, fuels, and chemicals. In addition, nanomaterials can be designed for a range of applications including energy storage, fuel production, and nanocatalysis. Designing nanomaterials for the valorization of biomass and waste feedstocks is a major step in advancing the application of nanomaterials and helping t...
