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

Drinking Water Quality and Contaminants Guidebook

Drinking Water Quality and Contaminants Guidebook

K347191 BCC Drinking water quality is a sensitive issue and the public is constantly barraged by contaminant reports now routinely at parts-per-trillion. Protection from microbial disease risks from drinking water must always be predominant; trace chemicals usually fall farther down the scale of possible health risks but even negligible detections raise public concerns. Drinking Water Quality and Contaminants Guidebook presents information and guidance on drinking water quality and regulatory issues reflecting experiences and judgments from the author’s more than 43 years of extensive experience. It contains digested comprehensive information on important chemical microbial and radionuclide water contaminants and discussions of several drinking water-related policy issues. Information is presented for long-standing regulated contaminants and chemicals of emerging concern in understandable terms for professionals and non-experts alike. Dossiers contain readily accessed information on sources physical and chemical properties toxicity analytical methodology water treatment technology regulations and health advisories and also include World Health Organization Guidelines. Aesthetic and acceptance factors such as water hardness and salinity that influence public perceptions of drinking water quality are also addressed. Features: Compiles and interprets essential information on numerous key chemical microbial and radionuclide water contaminants Provides standardized entries for each contaminant including occurrence health analytical water treatment regulations and World Health Organization guidance and recommendations with source citations Examines many water-related topics including fracking potable water reuse desalination boil water notices bottled water foodborne and waterborne disease and public perceptions about public drinking water quality Provides essential information and the basis for management of many long-standing contaminants such as lead mercury disinfection by-products E. coli and also emerging issues such as legionella glyphosate BPA and more

Engineering Maintenance A Modern Approach

Engineering Maintenance A Modern Approach

Of the more than $300 billion spent on plant maintenance and operations U. S. industry spends as much as 80 percent of this amount to correct chronic failures of machines systems and people. With machines and systems becoming increasingly complex this problem can only worsen and there is a clear and pressing need to establish comprehensive equipment management programs that incorporate the diverse considerations that are essential to effective maintenance. Engineering Maintenance: A Modern Approach presents a cradle-to-grave strategy to preserve equipment function avoid the consequences of failures and ensure the productive capacity of equipment. Moving well beyond traditional approaches this strategy incorporates quality and safety human error and software maintenance considerations along with costing reliability and maintainability. From specialized books and technical articles the author has gathered and integrated the latest advances in engineering maintenance into practical step-by-step plans designed to optimize maintenance activities extend equipment life and minimize failures. The elimination of chronic failures through effective maintenance can reduce maintenance costs by 40 to 60 percent. Engineering Maintenance: A Modern Approach not only collects recent advances into a single volume but also directs you on a path that can lead to a more successful cost-effective maintenance program. | Engineering Maintenance A Modern Approach

Roman Masculinity and Politics from Republic to Empire

Roman Masculinity and Politics from Republic to Empire

This volume explores the role that republican political participation played in forging elite Roman masculinity. It situates familiarly manly traits like militarism aggressive sexuality and the pursuit of power within a political system based on power sharing and cooperation. In deliberations in the Senate at social gatherings and on military campaign displays of consensus with other men greased the wheels of social discourse and built elite comradery. Through literary sources and inscriptions that offer censorious or affirmative appraisal of male behavior from the Middle and Late Republic (ca. 300–31 BCE) to the Principate or Early Empire (ca. 100 CE) this book shows how the vir bonus or good man the Roman persona of male aristocratic excellence modulated imperatives for personal distinction and military and sexual violence with political cooperation and moral exemplarity. While the advent of one-man rule in the Empire transformed political power relations ideals forged in the Republic adapted to the new climate and provided a coherent model of masculinity for emperor and senator alike. Scholars often paint a picture of Republic and Principate as distinct landscapes but enduring ideals of male self-fashioning constitute an important continuity. Roman Masculinity and Politics from Republic to Empire provides a fascinating insight into the intertwined nature of masculinity and political power for anyone interested in Roman political and social history and those working on gender in the ancient world more broadly.
