Elsevier: new books in the area of Chemical Engineering

Elsevier announced the publication of seven new books in the area of Chemical Engineering. If you would like to receive a review copy of any of these new books, please send a mail to sciencereviewcopies@elsevier.com and Elsevier will arrange to send you an ebook (downloadable PDF), usually within 3 business days. If you or your reviewer is unable to use an ebook, Elsevier can ship a print copy; however, we have a limited number available and this can take up to 4-5 weeks to arrive globally. In that case, please send us your shipping address and phone number.

 

Handbook of Spent Hydroprocessing Catalysts, Second Edition by Meena Marafi, Anthony Stanislaus and Edward Furimsky
This new edition covers all aspects of spent hydroprocessing catalysts, both regenerable and non-regenerable. It contains detailed information on hazardous characteristics of spent and regenerated catalysts. The information forms a basis for determining processing options to make decisions on whether spent catalysts can be either reused on refinery site after regeneration or used as the source of new materials. For non-regenerable spent catalysts, attention is paid to safety and ecological implications of utilizing landfill and other waste handling and storage options to ensure environmental acceptance. As such, this handbook can be used as a benchmark document to develop threshold limits of regulated species.

Advanced and Emerging Polybenzoxazine Science and Technology by Hatsuo Ishida and Pablo Froimowicz
This book introduces advanced topics of benzoxazine resins and polybenzoxazines as presented through the collaboration of leading experts in the benzoxazine community, representing the authoritative introduction to the subjects. Broad topics covered include the recent development and improved understanding of the subjects, including low temperature cure, aerogels and carbon aerogels, smart chemistry in fire retarding materials and coatings, metal containing benzoxazines, rational design of advanced properties, and materials from natural renew. Polybenzoxazine has been part of only a few successfully commercialized polymers in the past 35 years. Therefore, interest in this material in both academia and industry is very strong.

Solar Energy Desalination Technology by Hongfei Zheng
This book explains how to obtain clean water from sea water using solar energy. Special methods and types used in solar desalination are introduced, providing new thoughts, concepts, and feasible solutions in the desalination field, along with the thermal and economic efficiency relating to current technology. Many places in the world are suffering from fresh water shortage. However, those places are often rich with solar resources, sea water, and/or brackish water resources that could dramatically benefit from solar energy as a viable solution for the production of fresh water.

Handbook of Foaming and Blowing Agents by George Wypych
This book provides useful guidance to assist practitioners in the more efficient and effective selection of foaming methods and blowing agents. It focuses on the selection of additives for a diverse range of foaming processes, which can be enhanced using modern chemical means to improve product quality, speed up the process, and broaden the range of products that can be produced using foaming technology. Foamed polymers have many beneficial properties, including lower density, high heat and sound insulation, and shock absorbency. As the application of foamed polymers expands and diversifies, a variety of foaming techniques and equipment are available to produce a very diverse range of products.

Databook of Blowing and Auxiliary Agents by George Wypych
This book examines the chemical compounds used in the manufacture of blowing and auxiliary agents, and commercial products, with a range of data sources utilized. The methods of foaming are generally established, but very little is known about the composition of materials to be processed and additives to enhance foam products and make foam production more economical. More than 100 different data fields are provided, from general information such as molecular structure and formula, to physical properties, health and safety information, ecological properties, and recommendations regarding appropriate use and performance of each agent.

Pulp and Paper Industry: Emerging Waste Water Treatment Technologies by Pratima Bajpai
This is the first book which comprehensively reviews this topic. It provides thorough and in-depth coverage of advanced treatment technologies which will benefit the industry personnel, pulp manufacturers, researchers and advanced students. The book presents new treatment strategies to improve water reuse and fulfill the legislation in force regarding wastewater discharge. It also offers viable solutions for pulp and paper manufacturers in terms of wastewater treatment. The book presents examples of full-scale installations to help motivate mill personnel to incorporate new technologies.

Lead-Acid Batteries: Science and Technology: A Handbook of Lead-Acid Battery Technology and Its Influence on the Product, Second Edition by Detchko Pavlov
This new edition presents a comprehensive overview of the technological processes of lead-acid battery manufacture and their influence on performance parameters. The book summarizes current knowledge on lead-acid battery production, presenting it in the form of an integral theory that is supported by ample illustrative material and experimental data that allows technologists and engineers to control technological processes in battery plants. In addition, the book provides university lecturers with a tool for a clear and in-depth presentation of lead-acid battery production in courses. This updated edition includes new supplementary text and illustrations, as well as a brand new chapter on the action of carbon as an additive to the negative active material and the utilization of the lead-carbon supercapacitor electrodes. Substantial revisions of other chapters have been made.
