    • English
    Fundamental Chemistry with MATLAB highlights how MATLAB can be used to explore the fundamentals and applications of key topics in chemistry. After an introduction to MATLAB, the book provides examples of its application in both fundamental and developing areas of chemistry, from atomic orbitals, chemical kinetics and gaseous reactions, to clean coal combustion and ocean equilibria, amongst others. Complimentary scripts and datasets are provided to support experimentation and learning, with scripts outlined. Drawing on the experience of expert authors, this book is a practical guide for anyone in chemistry who is interested harnessing scripts, models and algorithms of the MATLAB.

  • Ecology and Biodiversity of Benthos

    • 1st Edition
    • Prince S. Godson + 2 more
    • English
    Ecology and Biodiversity of Benthos provides insights into the characteristic features of marine and estuarine benthos that play an important role in coastal ecosystem functioning, a primary level in the food chain. The book provides the latest information on multidisciplinary reflections by various researchers studying the benthic community. Through the chapters, ecosystem services are explored as a way to share approaches and scientific methods to achieve knowledge-based sustainable planning and management of benthic ecosystems. This is a helpful guide for anyone working on marine and estuarine environments, and for those who need an introduction to benthic ecology. The book has a wide range of scientific coverage since it caters primarily to the requirement of marine ecologists, marine benthologists, EIA experts, aquatic researchers, scientists, teachers and research scholars. In addition to this, it also serves as a reference for postgraduate/undergr... students studying aquatic ecosystems.

  • Integrated Wastewater Management and Valorization using Algal Cultures

    • 1st Edition
    • Goksel N. Demirer + 1 more
    • English
    Integrated Wastewater Management and Valorization using Algal Cultures provides a holistic view on coupled wastewater treatment and biomass production for energy and value-added products using algal cultures. Algal cultures provide low-cost nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorus) treatment and recovery from wastewaters, carbon-dioxide sequestration from waste gases, value-added generation in the form of bio-energy and bio-based chemicals, biosorption of heavy metals and biogas upgrading. The book addresses all these aspects in terms of role of algal cultures in environmental sustainability and circular economy. The production of high value products is addressed through pretreatment and anaerobic co-digestion of wastewater-derived microalgal biomass and microalgal biorefineries. The simultaneous dissolution and uptake of nutrients in microalgal treatment of anaerobic digestate is discussed, as is coupled electrocoagulation and algal cultivation for the treatment of anaerobic digestate and algal biomass production. Finally, optimization of algal biomass production is discussed using metagenomics and machine learning tools, and scale-up potential and the limitations of integrated wastewater-derived microalgal biorefineries is discussed. Integrated Wastewater Management and Valorization using Algal Cultures offers an integrated resource on wastewater treatment, biomass production, bioenergy and value-added product generation for researchers in bioenergy and renewable energy, environmental science and wastewater treatment, as well as environmental and chemical engineering.
