Progresses in Ammonia: Science, Technology, and Membranes: Production and Separation covers the production and separation of ammonia. Ammonia is considered a very important inorganic basic. It plays an essential role in the manufacture of fertilizer, as well as in the production of plastics, fibers, explosives, and intermediates for dyes and pharmaceuticals. Beginning with the discussion of composite membrane–based systems, this book explores ammonia synthesis, ammonia separation through membrane distillation, ammonia recovery from wastewater and salty liquids, and ammonia emission control. Model-based analysis has also been used extensively in this book through various case studies. Therefore this book is a valuable resource for postgraduate students, researchers, energy producers, and R&D managers.

Single Atom Catalysts: Design, Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications in Energy focuses on the synthesis, design, and advanced characterization techniques for single-atom catalyst (SAC) materials and their direct energy conversion and storage applications. This book reviews the emerging applications of SACs in fuel cells, batteries, water splitting, carbon dioxide reduction, and nitrogen fixation. Both noble metal and non-noble metal SACs are discussed, as noble metal-based SACs are highly efficient while non-noble metal-based SACs might have lower associated costs. There is an emphasis on materials’ design focused on improving the performance of catalysts based on overall catalytic activity, selectivity, and stability. Specific parameters that impact this performance are emphasized throughout the book, including single-metal atom stabilization, metal–support interactions, and the coordination environment.
