Due to rapid urbanization and development, water get polluted by the noxious waste released from industrial, sewage and agricultural runoffs. Sustainable Materials for Sensing and Remediation of Noxious Pollutants covers two most widely used aspects in the field of wastewater i.e. sensing and rapid remediation with a possible solution of successful technology commercialization. Chapters include information on low cost materials as sensing and remediating agents for the rapid removal of noxious impurities from wastewater. It includes chapters on the sensing of noxious metals, low cost adsorbents for the removal of noxious impurities i.e. inorganic (metal ions) and organic (dyes). Additional chapters include future/upcoming scopes of work and one chapter on the general introduction of the field. The book content will be technical and focused for the audience like graduate students, academicians, researchers and industrial professionals. Sustainable Materials for Sensing and Remediation of Noxious Pollutants is single reference source for environmental scientists and engineers interested in low cost sensing and remediation strategies.

This volume addresses key contemporary aspects in cycling policy, practice and research. Cycling has seen a sharp increase in scientific and policy attention in the past decade. The amount of research has surged over the past couple decades. Also, levels of cycling have increased substantially in many countries and cities, and many areas have seen increases in infrastructure investments. In addition, the last decade has seen innovations in bicycle technology, in particularly the rise of electric-assist (e-bikes) and dock-less bike sharing schemes. This volume reviews the state of the art on cycling from various angles. As such it explores planners’ (engineers’, policy makers’) provisions for cycling, of cyclists’ (and non-cyclists’) travel behaviour, and resulting consequences for individuals and society. One focus is on demand-side aspects, including the use of bicycles and their users including patterns and trends in cycling, determinants of cycling, and modelling of cycling. Another focus is on impacts of cycling, such as emissions, safety aspects, as well as changes during the COVID pandemic.

Thermophysical Properties of Individual Hydrocarbons of Petroleum and Natural Gases: Properties, Methods, and Low-Carbon Technologies is a go-to data source for engineers who need derive property data on everyday components. Providing more precise data improves existing oil and gas processing systems and creates opportunities for more sustainable operations and equipment, such as hydrogen and carbon capture. Covering modern equations of state, this source discusses detailed descriptions of experimental apparatus, methods of measurement, corrections and error estimates as well as results of previous experiments. Generalized predictive methods for calculating viscosity and thermal conductivity are also covered. Rounding out with property databases and lower-carbon technology advances, the book gives today’s engineers a detailed study of methods for more sustainable experimental research of thermophysical properties.
