Eli Lilly & Company, Indianapolis, Indiana, USA Series: Chemical Industries, 123

Pratim Kumar Chattaraj

Based on findings gathered at the 22nd Conference on Catalysis of Organic Relations, this peer-reviewed volume covers the general area of catalyzed synthesis with particular emphasis on the production of organic chemicals. Using an applied rather than theoretical approach, the book’s dominant theme is the traditionally practiced area of heterogeneous catalysis. The contributors explore hydrogenation, hydrogenolysis, C-C coupling, and amination and oxidation, including precious metal, supported base metal, sponge metal, Raney process, and homogeneous catalyst types. They also discuss end uses of these products, including industrial petrochemicals, fine chemicals, and pharma intermediates.

Exhibiting peculiar bonding and reactivity patterns, metal clusters, (a state intermediate between molecules and the extended solid), are found in many areas, including air pollution, interstellar matter, photography, quantum dots, and virus crystals. Similarly, the distinct stability of aromatic compounds makes them important in industry and biochemistry. However there is neither an experiment nor a formula to effectively calculate aromaticity. Highlighting various indirect characteristics used for analysis involving geometrical, electronic, magnetic, thermodynamic, and reactivity considerations, this book investigates the nature of aromaticity as well as the antiaromaticity of metal clusters.

Porous materials have attracted considerable attention in the past decades because of the wide variety of scientific and technological applications, such as catalysis, shape- and size-selective absorption and adsorption, gas storage, and electrode materials. This book focuses on generalized theoretical modeling, describes redox processes for different porous materials, and assesses their electrochemical applications. To present a focused analysis, the author limits discussion to a selection of important porous materials considered relatively homogeneous, from an electrochemical point of view. These include porous silicates and aluminosilicates, metal oxides, polyoxometalates and related materials, metalorganic frameworks, porous carbons, carbon nanotubes and fullerenes, and several hybrid materials.

Covering the composition and underlying properties of freshwater and marine systems, this work provides a basis for understanding both. The authors employ a range of examples to explain the behavior of trace constituents in aquatic environments. They discuss collection and preparation, modern extraction techniques, conservation, and storage. They elucidate the use of passive dosimetry, mineralization techniques, speciation analytics, green analytical chemistry, and chemometric techniques. Extensive details on quality control and quality assurance provides a complete perspective on the difficulties of sample preparation in aquatic environments.

Reflecting the rapid pace of discovery that has taken place during the past decade, Applied Food Biochemistry presents a unique, up-to-date, and unified introduction to food chemistry from a biochemical standpoint. Featuring color illustrations to elucidate molecular concepts throughout the text, this book addresses the relationship between nutrition and genetics, food-environment interactions, and the regulation of contaminants, additives, herbs, and dietary supplements. Coverage of recent developments includes water isotopes, bioactive lipids and carbohydrates, phytochemicals, essential oils, aroma compounds, phenolic acids, DNA traceability, nutrigenomics, and toxigenomics.

For a food product to be a success, it must be stable throughout shelf life. Deterioration due to chemical changes and alterations or physical instability are not always recognized, yet can be as problematic as microbial spoilage. This book provides a review of key topics in this area. It starts by considering chemical reactions that can negatively affect food quality, such as oxidative rancidity, and their measurement. It then reviews deterioration associated with physical changes, such as moisture loss, crystallization, and emulsion breakdown. From there, it examines likely effects on different foods and beverages, including bakery products, fruits and vegetables, ready-to-eat meals, and wine.

Few resources exist that explain how to achieve precision control of the size and size distribution of crystals. This book presents scientists with the tools to control crystal nucleation, enabling them to ultimately control crystal size and size distribution. Introducing the balanced nucleation and growth (BNG) model, it demonstrates how the results of the nucleation process are quantitatively related to numerous practical experimental control values. Going above and beyond classical nucleation theories that often rely on guesswork, the BNG model gives precise guidance to scientists working in a range of critical areas.

This revised edition presents the classical theory as the launching pad by introducing a number of key concepts so as to make the subject accessible to a wider group of readers. In addition, the technical soundness of presentation has been raised to a higher level by using the concepts of the mixed state and the reduced state as the basic building blocks of the theory as well as relating equilibrium statistical mechanics to the long-term time evolution of the reduced state. The author avoids technically rigorous, formal analysis in favor of a clear understanding at a semi-intuitive level.

In searching beyond our planet, scientists have focused on the idea that evidence of water is evidence of life. However, even if one believes that life is impossible without water, one should consider whether other forms of life may be possible where some variation of water exists. Taking nothing for granted, this volume brings together great thinkers from across disciplines who discuss whether the physiochemical properties of water are biocentrically “fine-tuned” for the existence and evolution of life. Exceptionally rigorous in its approach, the book lays a foundation for exploring some of the deepest quandaries in biochemistry.

Currently in the polyurethane industry, raw materials suppliers provide information on how to process materials without always explaining why these recommendations are being made. This book provides an understanding of the background of such recommendations and describes how they achieve desired outcomes. It discusses the production of polyurethane components from theoretical and practical aspects. The text progresses from raw materials to the production of prepolymers, covering the different types of available systems, the reasons for choosing the right system on micro and macro levels, and the curing and post-curing operations. It also addresses health and safety issues at each stage.

Covering phenomena at the micro, nano, and atto scales, the authors provide substantial data to support their theory and consider its implications in the breaking of emulsions.

With the rapid development of nanotechnology, the surface-to-volume ratio of objects of interest continues to increase and, therefore, so does the importance of our ability to tailor interfacial properties. Written by a best-selling author and internationally renowned researcher, this volume offers comprehensive coverage of electrical double layer (EDL) research. It discusses theoretical models used with EDL and demonstrates how they can be applied to typically encountered realworld problems, including those that must be considered in modern industrial applications. The book also provides bonus material on advanced theory that is separate from the main text

Alkyl-polyglycosides are gaining in popularity due to the fact that they are readily biodegradable, low-toxic, and made from renewable resources. This text compiles the most recent and relevant aspects of sugar-based surfactants, including selfassociation, phase behavior, and interfacial properties. Focusing on both colloidal and interfacial science, the book deals with the adsorption of surfactants in both the air-liquid and solid-liquid interfaces. It also covers new advances in surfactant science, such as the development of a family of potent surface active agents that are nontoxic and thus usable in a myriad of consumer products.

Surfactants help control friction and wear, while also controlling lubricant properties, such as emulsification, demulsification, bioresistance, oxidation resistance, rust prevention, and corrosion resistance. Edited by leading pioneers in the field, this unique work brings together recent advances in the use of surfactants. It addresses theoretical, technical, and experimental aspects. It considers the role of surfactants in SAMs, MEMS, NEMS, manufacturing, automotive, rail, light and heavy machinery, and biomedical applications. This work is of special interest to those interested in gaining an understanding of surfactants in tribology at the nanoscale.
