Nuclear Reactions explores the nuclear consensus that emerged in post-World War II America, characterized by widespread support for a diplomatic and military strategy based on nuclear weapons and a vision of economic growth that welcomed nuclear energy both for the generation of electricity and for [...]
With Reactions bestselling author Theodore Gray continues the journey through our molecular and chemical world that began with the tour de force The Elements and continued with Molecules. In The Elements, Gray gave us a never-before-seen, mesmerizing photographic view of the 118 elements in the peri[...]
Gas-Solid Reactions describes gas-solid reaction systems, focusing on the four phenomena-external mass transfer, pore diffusion, adsorption/desorption, and chemical reaction.This book consists of eight chapters. After the introduction provided in Chapter 1, the basic components of gas-solid reaction[...]
Many people experience traumatic events and whilst some gradually recover from such experiences, others find it more difficult and may seek professional help for a range of problems. "A Casebook of Cognitive Therapy for Traumatic Stress Reactions" aims to help therapists who may lack specific traini[...]
Since 1988, there has been much literature published on the chemistry of nitric oxide, particularly in the field of S-nitrosation and the chemistry of S-nitroso compounds. Written by a chemist for the chemistry community, this book provides an update of the chemistry of nitrosation reactions, dealin[...]
Chemical reactions can produce many different types of hazard. One of the most dangerous is the uncontrolled exothermic reaction which may generate high temperatures and pressures and result in bursting of the vessel. Well known examples are the incidents that happened in Bhopal and Seveso. This boo[...]
Describes the relations between reactions in chemical and biochemical systems with special emphasis to high selective oxidation reactions by hydrogen peroxide.
Outlines possible ways for the application of these reactions in an industrial scale.
* Looking at new approaches to the synthesis a[...]
Describing the commercial polymerization catalysts for the synthesis of polyethylenes and polypropylene, this book provides a detailed description of the multi-center nature of commercial Ziegler-Natta catalysts. It focuses on various aspects of transition metal polymerization catalysts.[...]
Electrochemical reactions make significant contributions to organic synthesis either in the laboratory or on an industrial scale. This book presents a logical development of reactions and mechanisms in organic electrochemistry. It is also a reference guide to the literature.[...]
Co-authored by Nobel Laureatte, E.J. Corey, this book builds on the first volume on this topic by presenting a comprehensive treatise on name reactions in heterocyclic chemistry. Primary topics include updates to the first volume on the new and/or expanded reactions in three and four-membered hetero[...]
Expanding on the ideas first presented in Gerhard Ertl's acclaimed Baker Lectures at Cornell University, "Reactions at Solid Surfaces" comprises an authoritative, self-contained, book-length introduction to surface reactions for both professional chemists and students alike.Outlining our present und[...]
