Introduction to the Physical Chemistry of Foods
CRC Press 2013; US$ 89.95This book provides an introduction to the physico-chemical basis and mathematical description of notions such as distillation, crystallization, sublimation, protein denaturation, emulsions, kinetics, enzymatic activity, and rheology. It lays the foundations in explaining the texture of ice cream, the foaming of beer, and the stability of milk, correlating... more...
Chemistry of Photography
Royal Society of Chemistry 2006; US$ 213.00Carried in wallets and displayed in homes, photographs are a common, but often an overlooked feature of modern life. And, with the advent of digital technology many believe that the so called 'wet chemistry' behind old fashioned photography is a thing of the past - but is it? The Chemistry of Photography endeavours to unravel the mysteries... more...
Developments and Applications in Solubility
Royal Society of Chemistry 2007; US$ 224.00Solubility is fundamental to most areas of chemistry and is one of the most basic of thermodynamic properties. It underlies most industrial processes. Bringing together the latest developments and ideas, Developments and Applications in Solubility covers many varied and disparate topics. The book is a collection of work from leading experts in their... more...
Renewable Hydrogen Technologies
Elsevier Science 2013; US$ 199.95Hydrogen is an ideal fuel for the future; it can greatly contribute to solve two of the big problems which the modern society faces: the security of the energy supply and the environmental impact and global warming caused by the pollutants emitted when using fossil fuels. However, in order that hydrogen is a real solution it has to be obtained through... more...
Metal-catalysis in Industrial Organic Processes
Royal Society of Chemistry 2006; US$ 160.00Catalysis underpins most modern industrial organic processes. It has become an essential tool in creating a 'greener' chemical industry by replacing more traditional stoichiometric reactions, which have high energy consumption and high waste production, with mild processes which increasingly resemble Nature's enzymes. Metal-Catalysis in... more...
Introduction to Biological and Small Molecule Drug Research and Development
Elsevier Science 2013; US$ 89.95The fundamental concept of the book is to provide, for the first time, an introduction to understand the science behind successful pharmaceutical research and development programs. As well as explaining the basic principles, the book compares and contrasts approaches to both biopharmaceuticals (proteins) and small molecule drugs and presents an overview... more...
Handbook of Coal Analysis
Wiley 2005; US$ 192.00All the guidance needed to test coal and analyze the results With the skyrocketing costs of most fuel sources, government, industry, and consumers are taking a greater interest in coal, an abundant and inexpensive alternative, which has been made more environmentally friendly through new technology. Published in response to this renewed interest, Handbook... more...
Chemistry and Technology of Flavours and Fragrances
Wiley 2009; US$ 265.00Modern flavours and fragrances are complex formulated products, containing blends of aroma compounds with auxiliary materials, enabling desirable flavours or fragrances to be added to a huge range of products. From the identification and synthesis of materials such as cinnamaldehyde and vanillin in the 19th Century to the current application of advanced... more...
Liquid Separations with Membranes
Springer 2007; US$ 64.99Presents the thermodynamic features of fluid mixtures in contact with semipermeable barriers, then applies the information in deriving the working principles and design requirements of individual membrane separation processes. This approach introduces the membranes, by way of the mass transport and selectivity demands which they are to meet. more...
Nanotechnology in Catalysis, 3
Springer 2007; US$ 129.99This volume continues the tradition formed in Nanotechnology in Catalysis 1 and 2. As with those books, this one is based upon an ACS symposium. Some of the most illustrious names in heterogeneous catalysis are among the contributors. The book covers: Design, synthesis, and control of catalysts at nanoscale; understanding of catalytic reaction at nanometer... more...
