The book Solvents - Dilute, Dissolve, and Disperse - Insights on Green Solvents and Distillation takes the reader on a journey of chemistry and engineering toward sustainability. The book unravels the potential of green solvents, which are remarkably versatile, low-toxicity alternatives to traditional solvents that promise to reduce environmental impact. Latest research on supercritical fluids, ionic liquids, and deep eutectic solvents are carefully reviewed with emphasis on the numerous applications of green solvents. Additionally, as industrial demands evolve, the development of existing techniques is necessary. Distillation, the cornerstone of industrial separation, has been reimagined th...
Los elementos químicos de la tabla periódica son los átomos con los que está hecho el Universo. No falta ni sobra ninguno. Cada átomo se distingue del otro dependiendo de cuántos electrones, protones o neutrones tenga en su interior, habitando la naturaleza en forma armoniosa, como por arte de magia. Cuentos y leyendas se han escrito desde que tal magia empezó a descifrarse. En los textos que componen este libro, sus diversos autores nos comparten el origen, la historia y las características más importantes de cada uno de los elementos químicos que han sido descubiertos, lo cual nos lleva, también, a repasar algunas de las páginas más importantes de la historia de la química. En 2019 se celebró, a nivel mundial, el 150 aniversario de la genial idea de Dmitri Ivánovich Mendeléiev de poner los elementos en una tabla periódica. El presente libro es un aporte mexicano, por demás original y ameno, a esa celebración.
The first all-in-one reference for the beet-sugar industry Beet-Sugar Handbook is a practical and concise reference for technologists, chemists, farmers, and research personnel involved with the beet-sugar industry. It covers: * Basics of beet-sugar technology * Sugarbeet farming * Sugarbeet processing * Laboratory methods of analysis The book also includes technologies that improve the operation and profitability of the beet-sugar factories, such as: * Juice-softening process * Molasses-softening process * Molasses-desugaring process * Refining cane-raw sugar in a beet-sugar factory The book ends with a review of the following: * Environmental concerns of a beet-sugar factory * Basics of sc...
Wormlike Micelles describes the latest developments in the field including new systems, characterization and applications.
Since the turn of the last century, significant advances have been documented in the literature on the design and engineering of microgels. Specialized reviews, each covering only a specific aspect of microgel development, are available; however, works that provide a comprehensive overview of the recent status of microgel research can hardly been found. The latter is important to the field as it can offer a broad view of the current situation and the possibilities for future microgel research. The objective of this book is to fill this gap by presenting a snapshot of the latest advances in the synthesis, characterization and applications of microgels. This book consists of three sections. Th...
Syndiotactic Polystyrene (SPS), synthesized in a laboratory for the first time in 1985, has become commercialized in a very short time, with wide acceptance on the global plastics market. Written by leading experts from academia and industry from all over the world, Syndiotactic Polystyrene offers a comprehensive review of all aspects of SPS of interest to both science and industry, from preparation and properties to applications. This essential reference to SPS covers: The preparation of syndiotactic polystyrene by half-metallocenes and other transition metal catalysts The structure and fundamental properties, especially morphology and crystallization and solution behavior The commercial pr...
This fully updated second edition of Introduction to Holography provides a theoretical background in optics and holography with a comprehensive survey of practical applications. It is intended for the non-specialist with an interest in using holographic methods in research and engineering. The text assumes some knowledge of electromagnetism, although this is not essential for an understanding of optics, which is covered in the first two chapters. A descriptive approach to the history and principles of holography is followed by a chapter on volume holography. Essential practical requirements for successful holographic recording are explained in detail. Recording materials are considered with ...
This book provides a detailed description of metal-complex functionalized carbon allotrope forms, including classic (such as graphite), rare (such as M- or T-carbon), and nanoforms (such as carbon nanotubes, nanodiamonds, etc.). Filling a void in the nanotechnology literature, the book presents chapters generalizing the synthesis, structure, properties, and applications of all known carbon allotropes. Metal-complex composites of carbons are described, along with several examples of their preparation and characterization, soluble metal-complex carbon composites, cost-benefit data, metal complexes as precursors of carbon allotropes, and applications. A lab manual on the synthesis and characterization of carbon allotropes and their metal-complex composites is included. Provides a complete description of all carbon allotropes, both classic and rare, as well as carbon nanostructures and their metal-complex composites; Contains a laboratory manual of experiments on the synthesis and characterization of metal-complex carbon composites; Discusses applications in diverse fields, such as catalysis on supporting materials, water treatment, sensors, drug delivery, and devices.
Reference for researchers reviewing the developments in this field over the last 15 years.
