This book details formulae-based, time-economic, and innovative learning techniques in chemistry, which serve to help students grow an interest in chemistry, and memorise specific aspects of the subject. It highlights the limitations of conventional methods and solves them in innovative ways.The volume also provides different chemical applications and problems, which will encourage students to solve multiple choice-type questions (MCQs), and highlights some attractive, free educational chemistry...

This book discusses the physics of the dynamics of ions in various ionically conducting materials, and applications including electrical energy generation and storage. The experimental techniques for measurements and characterization, molecular dynamics simulations, the theories of ion dynamics, and applications are all addressed by the authors, who are experts in their fields. The experimental techniques of measurement and characterization of dynamics of ions in glassy, crystalline, and liquid...

Process Technology provides a general overview about chemical and biochemical process technology. It focuses on the structure and development of production processes, main technological operations and the important aspects of process economics. The theoretical foundations in each chapter are supplemented by case studies and examples in a clear and instructive manner to illustrate the practical aspects. The author highlights operating principles, reasons for application and available industrial e...

In this dissertation, Marie-Helene Larraufie develops original radical and pallado-catalyzed methodologies to enable the synthesis of several classes of bioactive nitrogen-containing heterocycles. New radical cascades employing the N-acylcyanamide moiety offer straightforward routes to quinazolinones and guanidines, as well as new insights into the mechanism of homolytic aromatic substitutions. In parallel, Larraufie expands the scope of visible light photoredox catalysis to the ring opening of...

This book begins with a thorough background of the subject. Next, the authors discuss the significance of electrometallurgy within the broader spectrum of science and technology. They then expand the previously laid theoretical base and explain mechanisms of metal deposition and applications for all existing related technologies. The book will be of interest to undergraduate and graduate students involved with electrochemistry of metals, materials science, plating technologies, electronics mater...

Owing to the extensive interest in construction of functional metal organic frameworks (FMOFs), this book discusses the roles of functional groups on the structure and application of metal organic frameworks (MOFs). The contents of the book are classified based on the structural and chemical properties of organic functions, in order to make readers able to compare the different effects of each function on the structure and application of the MOFs. In each chapter, the chemical properties of ap...

The market volatility of recent years and the price of gold, has resulted in the gold futures contract growing in international prominence and stature. It is now one of the most widely traded futures contracts in the world. Speculators, hedgers, arbitrageurs, as well as gold producers, suppliers and end users all trade gold futures on nearly a dozen exchanges around the world. Gold Futures is the only complete up-to-date sourcebook on this subject. It provides a detailed overview and analysis of...

The world of combustion phenomena is rich in problems intriguing to the mathematical scientist, offering challenges on several fronts: mathematical modelling, devising appropriate asymptotic and computational methods and developing sound mathematical theories. Papers in this volume describe how all of these challenges have been met for particular examples within a number of common combustion scenarios: reactive shocks, low mach number premixed reactive flow, non-premixed phenomena and solid prop...
