    Data Treatment and Applications
    • 1st Edition
    • Fabiano André Narciso Fernandes + 2 more
    • English
    Chemometrics: Data Treatment and Applications demonstrates best practices for treating real-world analytical instrument data and how to apply chemometrics to this data. Rather than focusing on the mathematical theory involved in chemometrics, the book is meant for the industrial chemist, academics, and advanced students that want to use chemometrics in practice. Case studies on several applications are presented. Unlike existing literature, this book focuses on best practices, practical realities, and challenges when treating data, rather than on the mathematical theory. It also provides basic information on chemometrics and the best practices used to treat data from different analytical instruments.The book is written primarily for analytic chemists as practitioners in analytical laboratories and other industries. It will also be useful to academics and graduate, masters and postdoc students chiefly working in analytical chemistry who want to improve the practical aspects of their research activities.

    • English
    Advances and Technology Development in Greenhouse Gases: Emission, Capture and Conversion is a comprehensive series that discusses the composition and properties of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and introduces different sources of GHGs’ emission and the relation between GHGs and global warming. The comprehensive and detailed presentation of common technologies as well as novel research related to all aspects of GHGs makes this work an indispensable encyclopedic resource for researchers in academia and industry. Greenhouse Gases Emissions and Climate Change reviews the sources of GHGs’ emissions and controlling techniques and introduces the sources of GHGs from domestic and industrial to agricultural. The book addresses the impact of their release on human health followed by politics and economics. Section 1 deals with the sources GHGs’ emission and its health impact and political and economic effects, followed by the environmental and economic assessments of inhibition techniques. Section 2 is devoted to mineral carbonation as an efficient tool for controlling GHGs’ emission. Section 3 discusses other strategies such as stratospheric aerosol injection and ocean mirror that help control GHGs’ emission.

  • Recycling and Deinking of Recovered Paper

    • 2nd Edition
    • Pratima Bajpai
    • English
    Recycling and Deinking of Recovered Paper, Second Edition covers recent advances in recycling technologies. This second edition examines this new process, which is more eco-friendly than the virgin-papermaking process, and which uses less energy and natural resources, produces less solid waste and fewer atmospheric emissions, and helps to preserve natural resources and landfill space. In addition, the most recent information about the recycling of fibers into various grades of paper and board, the control of stickies, and the effects of recycled fiber on paper machines are also covered.Recycling technologies have been improved in recent years due to advances in pulping, flotation deinking, and cleaning/screening, resulting in the quality of paper made from secondary fibers remarkably approaching that of virgin paper.
