Originally, scientists believed that molecules were three-dimensional; however, studies have proven that geometric dimensions are continuous. Therefore, molecules are able to have higher dimensions which influences how they interact with other molecules leading to advances in various fields including nanomedicine, nanotoxicology and quantum biology. Chemical Compound Structures and the Higher Dimension of Molecules: Emerging Research and Opportunities is a pivotal reference work studying the relationship between chemical compounds and dimensional space. Featuring comprehensive coverage across a range of related topics, such as convex polytypes, Euler-Poincaré equations, intermolecular interactions, and the Schrodiner equation, this book is an ideal reference source for academicians, researchers, and advance-level students seeking innovative research on molecule dimensions and interactions.

Sustainable Energy Conversion for Electricity and Coproducts Comprehensive and a fundamental approach to the study of sustainable fuel conversion for the generation of electricity and for coproducing synthetic fuels and chemicals Both electricity and chemicals are critical to maintain our modern way of life; however, environmental impacts have to be factored in to sustain this type of lifestyle. Sustainable Energy Conversion for Electricity and Coproducts provides a unified, comprehensive, and a fundamental approach to the study of sustainable fuel conversion in order to generate electricity and optionally coproduce synthetic fuels and chemicals. The book starts with an introduction to energy systems and describes the various forms of energy sources: natural gas, petroleum, coal, biomass, and other renewables and nuclear. Their distribution is discussed in order to emphasize the uneven availability and finiteness of some of these resources. Each topic in the book is covered in sufficient detail from a theoretical and practical applications standpoint essential for engineers involved in the development of the modern power plant. Sustainable Energy Conversion for Electricity and Coproducts features the following: Discusses the impact of energy sources on the environment along with an introduction to the supply chain and life cycle analyses in order to emphasize the holistic approach required for sustainability. Not only are the emissions of criteria pollutants addressed but also the major greenhouse gas CO2 which is essential for the overall sustainability. Deals with underlying principles and their application to engineering including thermodynamics, fluid flow, and heat and mass transfer which form the foundation for the more technology specific chapters that follow. Details specific subjects within energy plants such as prime movers, systems engineering, Rankine cycle and the Brayton–Rankine combined cycle, and emerging technologies such as high-temperature membranes and fuel cells. Sustainable energy conversion is an extremely active field of research at this time. By covering the multidisciplinary fundamentals in sufficient depth, this book is largely self-contained suitable for the different engineering disciplines, as well as chemists working in this field of sustainable energy conversion.

A Química é uma ciência que permeia todas as áreas do conhecimento e tem nos encantado com sua arte e magia. Ela embalou o sonho dos alquimistas na busca da pedra filosofal e do elixir da longa vida, e continua impulsionando os químicos modernos na obstinada procura de novas substâncias capazes de gerar riquezas ou de combater as doenças em nosso mundo. Seu conteúdo tem crescido exponencialmente, e o enorme progresso alcançado já permite lidar diretamente com os átomos e moléculas, e até mesmo com as incríveis estruturas nanométricas da nanotecnologia. Por meio da química estamos continuamente aperfeiçoando nossa capacidade de transformar e criar novas formas de matéria, de explorar a dimensão do invisível e de entender a mais sublime das invenções: a vida. Entretanto, toda essa explosão de conhecimento parece um grande desafio no ensino da química! Mas, felizmente os conceitos fundamentais continuam válidos e por isso sua compreensão proporciona um passaporte seguro para conhecer e apreciar o maravilhoso mundo da química. Esse foi o grande objetivo desta coleção de textos, dedicada especialmente a você, que está iniciando esta importante jornada!

'The specialty chemical industry is focused on the development of chemicals and materials from the perspective of function and market value. The emphasis is not on the empirical structure of these chemicals, but on how they serve end-user markets. The growth of specialty chemicals as a global industry, is tied to exploring and expanding functions and applications for both new and existing chemicals that can serve traditional and niche markets, as well as bringing these chemicals to new geographic markets. It is essential for those involved in the production and distribution of specialty chemicals to have ready access to a reference that contains integrated information on these chemicals, their properties, functional and application market sectors, manufacturers and distributors. Specialty Chemicals Source Book, now in its Fourth Edition, serves this purpose. It has been extensively revised and expanded and now contains approximately 18,000 monographs on this group of chemicals with 70,000 cross-referenced chemical synonyms, and more than 60,000 trade name equivalents. It also contains a Function/Application Index which functions as a powerful tool for locating chemicals based on functions and industrial application areas. By searching for functional key words such as catalyst, moisture scavenger, plasticizer or application key words, such as inks, coatings, elastomers, thermoplastic resins, the user is directed to the appropriate specialty chemical monographs.There is a Manufacturers Directory, a CAS Registry Number Index, EINECS/ELINCS Number Index, and a Chemical Formula Index'

Following shifting trends from remedial to preventive uses of grouting practices, this third edition covers all aspects of chemical grouting methods and applications. This reference highlights new ground improvement techniques as well as recent innovations in soil modification and stabilization procedures. It considers commercial alternatives to ground improvement, their relative advantages and disadvantages, and the engineering applications to which these methods are suited. Revised and expanded, this new edition assesses the role of new grouting techniques in the containment of hazardous waste and introduces numerous problems to illustrate concepts and facilitate instruction.

The sector of fine chemicals, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, dyes and pigments, fragrances and flavours, intermediates, and performance chemicals is growing fast. For obvious reasons chemistry is a key to the success in developing new processes for fine chemicals. However, as a rule, chemists formulate results of their work as recipes, which usually lack important information for process development. Fine Chemicals Manufacture, Technology and Engineering is intended to show what is needed to make the recipe more useful for process development purposes and to transform the recipe into an industrial process that will be safe, environmentally friendly, and profitable.The goal of this book is to form a bridge between chemists and specialists of all other branches involved in the scale-up of new processes or modification of existing processes with both a minimum effort and risk and maximum profit when commercializing the process. New techniques for scale-up and optimization of existing processes and improvements in the utilization of process equipment that have been developed in recent years are presented in the book.

The special world of industrial chemistry is illuminated in this text. Issues such as naming and classification of chemicals, safety, formulations and specifications, information and patents are treated. Process-related topics are discussed, such as scaling-up, equipment selection, construction materials, environmental impact and waste minimization. Aspects which fall in between the traditional disciplines of chemistry and chemical engineering are covered, which are so critical for the development of a successful industrial process, and the awareness of which avoids pitfalls in industrial research and development. Case studies are given, and special appendices provide useful information for the industrial chemist or student.The book is aimed at industrial chemists and engineers, and at students in those faculties, intending to pursue this field in industry. Marketing and purchasing staff will also find this text valuable.
