Introduction to Green Chemistry

Introduction to Green Chemistry

Interest in green chemistry and clean processes has grown so much in recent years that topics such as fluorous biphasic catalysis metal organic frameworks and process intensification which were barely mentioned in the First Edition have become major areas of research. In addition government funding has ramped up the development of fuel cells and biofuels. This reflects the evolving focus from pollution remediation to pollution prevention. Copiously illustrated with more than 800 figures the Third Edition provides an update from the frontiers of the field. It features supplementary exercises at the end of each chapter relevant to the chemical examples introduced in each chapter. Particular attention is paid to a new concluding chapter on the use of green metrics as an objective tool to demonstrate proof of synthesis plan efficiency and to identify where further improvements can be made through fully worked examples relevant to the chemical industry. NEW AND EXPANDED RESEARCH TOPICS Metal-organic frameworks Metrics Solid acids for alkylation of isobutene by butanes Carbon molecular sieves Mixed micro- and mesoporous solids Organocatalysis Process intensification and gas phase enzymatic reactions Hydrogen storage for fuel cells Reactive distillation Catalysts in action on an atomic scale UPDATED AND EXPANDED CURRENT EVENTS TOPICS Industry resistance to inherently safer chemistry Nuclear power Removal of mercury from vaccines Removal of mercury and lead from primary explosives Biofuels Uses for surplus glycerol New hard materials to reduce wear Electronic waste Smart growth The book covers traditional green chemistry topics including catalysis benign solvents and alternative feedstocks. It also discusses relevant but less frequently covered topics with chapters such as Chemistry of Long Wear and Population and the Environment. This coverage highlights the importance of chemistry to everyday life and demonstrates the benefits the expanded exploitation of green chemistry can have for society. | Introduction to Green Chemistry

Essential Oils as Antimicrobial Agents in Food Preservation

Essential Oils as Antimicrobial Agents in Food Preservation

Perishable products such as fruits and vegetables account for the largest proportion of food loss due to their short shelf life especially in the absence of proper storage facilities which requires sustainable universal and convenient preservation technology. The existing methods to prolong the shelf life of food mainly include adding preservatives irradiation cold storage heat treatment and controlled atmosphere storage. But with disadvantages in irradiation cold storage heat treatment and controlled atmosphere storage chemical synthetic preservatives are still the main means to control food corruption. As the food industry responds to the increasing consumer demand for green safe and sustainable products it is reformulating new products to replace chemical synthetic food additives. Essential Oils as Antimicrobial Agents in Food Preservation provides a comprehensive introduction to the antimicrobial activity of plant essential oils and their application strategies in food preservation. It is aimed at food microbiology experts food preservation experts food safety experts food technicians and students. Features: Summarizes the application strategy and safety of essential oil in the field of food preservation Describes the synergistic antibacterial effect of essential oil and antimicrobial agents Explains the action mechanism of essential oil as antimicrobial agent against foodborne fungi foodborne bacteria viruses and insects Analyzes the antimicrobial activity of essential oil in gas phase The book discusses how as a natural antimicrobial and antioxidant essential oil has great potential to be used in the food industry to combat the growth of foodborne pathogens and spoilage microorganisms. But because the essential oil itself has obvious smell and is sensitive to light and heat it cannot be directly added to the food matrix and thus the application strategies presented in this book explain how to alleviate those issues.

Surface Chemistry Essentials

Surface Chemistry Essentials

Surface chemistry plays an important role in everyday life as the basis for many phenomena as well as technological applications. Common examples range from soap bubbles foam and raindrops to cosmetics paint adhesives and pharmaceuticals. Additional areas that rely on surface chemistry include modern nanotechnology medical diagnostics and drug delivery. There is extensive literature on this subject but most chemistry books only devote one or two chapters to it. Surface Chemistry Essentials fills a need for a reference that brings together the fundamental aspects of surface chemistry with up-to-date references and data from real-world examples. This book enables readers to better understand many natural phenomena and industrial processes. Mathematical treatment is mainly given as references to make the material accessible to individuals with a broader range of scientific backgrounds. The book begins by introducing basic considerations with respect to liquid and solid surfaces and describes forces in curved versus flat liquid surfaces. Chapters cover properties of surface active substances such as surfactants and soaps; lipid films and Langmuir-Blodgett films; and adsorption and desorption on solid surfaces. The author discusses processes involved in liquidsolid interface phenomena which are utilized in washing coatings lubrication and more and colloid chemistry systems and related industrial applications such as wastewater treatment. The author also addresses bubbles films and foams and the principles of oil water emulsion science used in detergents paints and skin creams. The final chapter considers more complex applications for example food emulsions scanning probe miscroscopy the cement industry and gas and oil recovery.
