With contributions from over 40 experts in the field, this reference presents comprehensive, single-source coverage of the instrumentation, computerization, calibration, and methods development of NIR spectroscopy. It provides novel applications for accurate time- and cost-effective analyses of pharmaceuticals, polymers, textiles, agricultural products, dairy products, foods, and beverages. Emphasizing trends in sample preparation, the book covers historical development, calibration transfer, biomedical applications, plastics, and counterfeiting; on-line, in-line, and at-line analyses for process control, multilinear regression and principal component analysis, and more.
Fast, inexpensive, and easy-to-use, near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy can be used to analyze small samples of virtually any composition. The Handbook of Near Infrared Analysis, Third Edition explains how to perform accurate as well as time- and cost-effective analyses across a growing spectrum of disciplines.

Responding to a heightened awareness of the possible adverse effect of treated wood, this book presents multidisciplinary research results and fundamental information on regulations, wood treatment alternatives, and documentation of environmental releases. It examines the impact of treated wood on water, soil, and organisms. Several chapters discuss ways to measure exposure and review various approaches to risk assessment and management. Case studies address human health effects of exposure. The book also presents state-of-the-art disposal technologies, new preservative compounds, and recent developments related to phase outs of certain treated wood products.
There is an increasing movement of scientists and engineers who are dedicated to minimising the environmental impact of polymer composite production. Life cycle assessment is of paramount importance at every stage of a product's life, from initial synthesis through to final disposal and a sustainable society needs environmentally safe materials and processing methods. With an internationally recognised team of contributors, Green Composites examines fibre reinforced polymer composite production and explains how environmental footprints can be diminished at every stage of the life cycle.The introductory chapters look at why we should consider green composites, their design and life cycle asse...
