Yarn Twisting Dynamics presents the general differential equations of yarn twisting dynamics, describing rotational kinematics and kinetics, along with the twist blocking mechanisms of traveling yarns in straight and spatial paths. General solutions to yarn twisting dynamic equations, including twist wave propagation and twist distributions in idealized systems are also presented. Yarn tensile, torsional, and compressional properties are discussed based on yarn helical structure models. Users will find this book to be a first principles approach to yarn twisting problems in yarn manufacturing and handling systems.Other sections cover yarn twisting dynamics and twist blockage theories, including conventional ring spinning, modified ring spinning, additive spinning (i.e., open-end spinning), constant and periodic false-twisting, rub-condensing (i.e., roving and slubbing production), false twist texturing, and carbon nanotube yarn production systems.

Waste-Based Zeolite: Synthesis and Environmental Applications focuses on the use of waste-based materials to fabricate zeolite and its subsequent use in environmental applications. It presents recent progress in zeolite synthesis using wastes products such as fly ash, steel slag, biomass waste, water treatment plant sludge, and municipal waste, among others. It discusses the application of waste-based zeolite for environmental applications such as biodiesel production, as well as considering techniques for recovering spent zeolite. Many industries produce substantial quantities of waste material comprising various hazardous constituents that lead to pollution and threaten the environment.However, such waste can often be a rich source of precursor ingredients for zeolite synthesis, and waste-based zeolites could potentially provide an economically and environmentally viable alternative to commercially available zeolites. This book illuminates this fascinating avenue of research.
