Advanced Nanomaterials for Membrane Synthesis and Its Applications
provides the academic and industrial communities the most
up-to-date information on the latest trends in membrane
nanomaterials and membrane nanotechnology used in wastewater
treatment, environmental technology and energy. The rapid advances
in nanomaterials and nanotechnology development over the past
decade have resulted in significant growth of the membrane business
for various industrial processes, particularly in
nanotechnology-based membrane processes. While membrane technology
is increasingly being used for liquid and gas separations, it has
great potential in a variety of additional applications. As the
worldwide academic community has a strong interest in advanced
membrane processes, particularly membrane nanotechnology for
specific separations, this book provides a timely update on the
topic.
Polymeric Corrosion Inhibitors for Greening the Chemical and
Petrochemical Industry Primary reference on polymeric corrosion
inhibitors for researchers and professionals in the chemical and
petrochemical industries Polymeric Corrosion Inhibitors for
Greening the Chemical and Petrochemical Industry provides an
extensive overview of polymeric corrosion inhibitors for chemical
and petrochemical industry--from design, synthesis, and
characterization--to applications. The text discusses the different
media in which corrosion is observed and enables readers to
minimize/prevent pipes and other plant systems' failures by
adequately dealing with corrosion. Considering the high importance
of corrosion inhibitors development for the chemical and
petrochemical industries, this book aims to provide fundamental and
current practice with comprehensive coverage of the recent
advancements of green polymeric corrosion inhibitors that could be
used. The text systematically presents fundamentals, up-to-date
development, and industrial applications of polymeric corrosion
inhibitors. In Polymeric Corrosion Inhibitors for Greening the
Chemical and Petrochemical Industry, readers can expect to find
specific information on: Water- and oil-soluble polymeric corrosion
inhibitors, plus polymeric corrosion inhibitors for acid, CO2
(sweet), H2S (sour), cooling water, and basic media Polymers as
kinetic hydrate inhibitors, high-temperature polymeric corrosion
inhibitors, and polymeric inhibitors for microbiologically
influenced corrosion Surface characterization techniques in
corrosion inhibition research and guidelines for designing
corrosion inhibitors for oil and gas production The impact of
corrosion inhibitors as green polymeric materials and what they
mean for the future of the field Polymeric Corrosion Inhibitors for
Greening the Chemical and Petrochemical Industry is a primary
reference for researchers and professionals in the material
science, chemistry and electrochemistry, chemical, mechanical, and
metallurgical engineering industries who wish to counter the
economic and environmental consequences of corrosion in various
plant systems.
This book discusses how to reduce the impact of dust and heat on
photovoltaic systems. It presents the problems caused by both dust
accumulation and heat on PV systems, as well as the solutions, in a
collected piece of literature. The Effects of Dust and Heat on
Photovoltaic Modules: Impacts and Solutions begins by discussing
the properties of dust accumulation on PV modules. It then presents
several solutions to this, such as hydrophobic coatings and surface
texturing. The second half of the book is used to discuss the
effects of heat on silicon PV modules, as well as various cooling
approaches. These include water cooling and carbon-based materials.
Due to the prevalence of PV systems in renewable energy, this book
will be of interest to numerous students, researchers and
practitioners.
