Thoroughly revised and expanded, the third edition of the Encyclopedia of Chromatography is an authoritative source of information for researchers in chemistry, biology, physics, engineering, and materials science. This quick reference and guide to specific chromatographic techniques and theory provides a basic introduction to the science and technology of the method, offering key references dealing with the methodology for analysis of specific chemicals and applications in industry. With a focu...

Keramik ist nicht nur der älteste synthetische Werkstoff der Menschheit, sondern auch Schlüssel zur Erschließung neuer Technologien. Ohne Keramik  sind gepflegtes Wohnen und Tischkultur ebenso undenkbar wie moderne Elektronik, Fertigungstechnik und Maschinenbau, Metallurgie und Energietechnik, Medizintechnik oder Luft- und Raumfahrt. Das wieder in einem Band verfügbare und umfassend neu überarbeitete Werk behandelt die wissenschaftlichen und technischen Grundlagen,  wie Kristallstrukturen, Ther...

Proceedings of SPIE present the original research papers presented at SPIE conferences and other high-quality conferences in the broad-ranging fields of optics and photonics. These books provide prompt access to the latest innovations in research and technology in their respective fields. Proceedings of SPIE are among the most cited references in patent literature.

All those who make risk-related decisions require sound knowledge on which to base their decisions, wherever possible including the best scientific knowledge available. Often, they are confronted by the need to make decisions in which they must allocate resources to one or more of several different problems, and are required to do so in the absence of any objective means of comparing the risks or the impact of their decisions. CRA offers a possible way of providing a scientific basis for such de...

In 1993, the Federal Ministry of Research and Education of the Federal - public of Germany (BMBF) started the ?rst of now ?ve periods of funding mathematics for industry and services. To date, its e?orts have supported approximately 280 projects investigating complex problems in industry and services.Whereasstandardproblemscanbe solvedusing standardmathem- ical methods and software o? the shelf, complex problems arising from e.g. industrial research and developments require advanced and innovati...

This text presents the latest information on mobile, recalcitrant compounds in gasoline and the newly emerging compounds being developed for use in gasoline and other vehicular fuels. The use of some of these compounds has resulted from environmental regulations specifying the addition of oxygenates to gasoline and papers in this volume consider the chemical, geochemical, hydrogeological, and atmospheric behavior of oxygenates. Methods for investigation, detection, and remediation, and the multi...

As a result of the sudden growth of Fourier transform spectroscopy (FTS) over the last two decades, many spectrometers are used in labs by people who do not understand their operation. This problem is compounded by the sophisticated use of the computer by FTS. Understanding FTS is a difficult task because the concepts are alien to many and, to complicate matters, the mathematics involved are just as confusing. This book is written to address this problem directly. The functioning of the inferome...

Completely revised and substantially extended to reflect the developments in this fast-changing field. It retains the interdisciplinary approach that elegantly combines the chemistry and engineering involved to describe the conception and improvement of chromatographic processes. It also covers recent advances in preparative chromatographic processes for the separation of "smaller" molecules using standard laboratory equipment as well as the detailed conception of industrial chemical plants. The...

There is a mounting consensus that human behavior is changing the global climate and its consequence could be catastrophic. Reducing the 24 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions from stationary and mobile sources is a gigantic task involving both technological challenges and monumental financial and societal costs. The pursuit of sustainable energy resources, environment, and economy has become a complex issue of global scale that affects the daily life of every citizen of the world....

This interesting book covers latest aspects of a highly sophisticated technology; results treated in critical detail; demonstrates applicability of this technology to practical problems in process control, biochip methods, clinical analysis, environmental sciences

Mercury (Hg) is one of the most toxic heavy metals, harmful to both the environment and human health. Hg is released into the atmosphere from natural and anthropogenic sources and its emission control has caused much concern. This book introduces readers to Hg pollution from natural and anthropogenic sources and systematically describes coal-fired flue gas mercury emission control in industry, especially from coal-fired power stations. Mercury emission control theory and experimental research ar...

Practicing engineers and scientist will benefit from this book's presentation of the most accurate information on the subject. The equations for fifteen important cryogenic fluids are presented in a basic format, accompanied by pressure-enthalpy and temperature-entropy charts and tables of thermodynamic properties. The book is supported by ICMPROPRS - an interactive computer program for the calculation of thermodynamic properties of the cryogenic fluids - that can be downloaded from the W...

Volume 1 of Formulation Science and Technology is a survey of the theory of formulations in a variety of fields, as well as their rheological characterization. It offers in-depth explanations for research scientists, universities, and industry practitioners looking for a complete understanding of how different formulations behave and how to influence their performance.

This textbook addresses the chemical and physicochemical principles of supramolecular host-guest chemistry in solution. It covers the thermodynamics and dynamics of inclusion and highlights several types of organic hosts. Various applications of host-guest chemistry in analytical and environmental chemistry as well as pharmaceutical and chemical industry demonstrate the versatile usability of molecular cages.
