Corrosion of Aluminium, Second Edition
by Christian Vargel
This new edition highlights the practical and general aspects of the corrosion of aluminum alloys. Chapters help readers new to the topic understand the metallurgical, chemical, and physical features of aluminum alloys. The author adopts a practitioner styled approach that is based on the expertise he has gained during a 40-year career in aluminum corrosion. The book assesses the corrosion resistance of aluminum, a key metric recognized as one of the main conditions for the development of many uses of aluminum in transport, construction, power transmission, and more.
The Alkaloids: Chemistry and Biology
by Hans-Joachim Knolker
This book is volume 84, the latest release in its own series that has covered the topic for more than 60 years. As the esteemed leading reference in the field of alkaloid chemistry, this series covers all aspects of alkaloids, including their chemistry, biology, and pharmacology. Sections are presented as high-quality, timeless reviews written by renowned experts in the field. It contains more than 70 published volumes in this interesting field of study.
Industrial Enzymes for Biofuels Production: Recent Updates and Future Trends
by Neha Srivastava, P.K. Mishra and S. N. Upadhyay
This book focuses on resolving existing bottlenecks in enzymes mediated biomass to biofuels production processes by updating recent scientific knowledge and technology developments. It provides low-cost sustainable approaches to lower the cost of enzyme production following different approaches. It is specifically focused on industrial aspects of enzymes used in biofuels production processes by presenting an in-depth study of existing issues related to practical viability and long-term sustainability. It covers detailed discussions on the market scenario of industrial enzymes used in biofuels production processes and compares them on both lab and industrial scale. Users will find this to be a great resource that also helps them develop low-cost green technologies for enzyme development in biofuels production.
by Ali Asghar Rastegari, Ajar Nath Yadav and Neelam Yadav
This book describes how specific techniques can be used to generalize the metabolism of bacteria that optimize biologic improvement strategies and bio-transport processes. Microbial biotechnology focuses on microbes of agricultural, environmental, industrial, and clinical significance. It discusses several methods based on molecular genetics, systems, and biology of synthetic, genomic, proteomic, and metagenomics. Recent developments in our understanding of the role of microbes in sustainable agriculture and biotechnology have created a high potential research area. The soil and plant microbiomes have a significant role in plant growth promotion, crop yield, soil health, and fertility for sustainable developments.
by Ali Asghar Rastegari, Ajar Nath Yadav and Neelam Yadav
This book discusses how microbial biotechnology helps us understand new strategies to reduce pathogens and drug resistance through microbial biotechnology. The most commonly used probiotic bacteria are Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. Therefore, the probiotic strains exhibit powerful anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, and other important properties. It provides an indispensable reference source for engineers/bioengineers, biochemists, biotechnologists, microbiologists, pharmacologists, and researchers who want to know about the unique properties of this microbe and explore its sustainable biomedicine future applications.
