Introduction to Biodeterioration (Hardcover, 2nd Revised edition): Dennis Allsopp, Kenneth J. Seal, Christine C. Gaylarde Introduction to Biodeterioration (Hardcover, 2nd Revised edition)
Dennis Allsopp, Kenneth J. Seal, Christine C. Gaylarde
R3,398 Discovery Miles 33 980 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book provides an introduction to biodeterioration - the attack on man-made materials by living organisms. The authors outline the principles involved, as well as the ways in which such damage can be controlled and prevented. A wide range of organisms are covered (including bacteria, fungi, algae, lichens, insects and other invertebrates, birds, mammals and plants) and the types of biodeterioration discussed include: * natural materials such as foodstuffs, wood, metal, stone, cellulose and leather * synthetic products such as paint, adhesives and plastics * structures and systems such as buildings, monuments, transport systems and vehicles. In this updated and expanded second edition, new molecular and genetic techniques are included, and regulatory, environmental and safety issues are emphasised. This book is suitable not only for biologists, but also for those in industry, commerce and local government who are concerned with the preservation and conservation of a wide range of materials of economic or cultural importance.

Bioextraction and Biodeterioration of Metals (Paperback): Christine C. Gaylarde, Hector A. Videla Bioextraction and Biodeterioration of Metals (Paperback)
Christine C. Gaylarde, Hector A. Videla; Foreword by Dennis Allsopp
R1,330 Discovery Miles 13 300 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book was first published in 1995. Interactions between microbes and metals have a huge economic importance. Metallic structures and apparatus can be corroded, leading to reduced efficiency of operation and even danger to users. However, micro-organisms have enormous potential for the removal of economically important metals from their ores. Specialists cover the different aspects of the subject in separate chapters, which include marine corrosion and the prospects and management of biomining bacteria. The chemical and electrochemical aspects and the prospects for controlling the positive and negative effects of these micro-organisms are covered in detail. Mining and oil industries engineers and researchers will find the contents of this book extremely pertinent. Researchers in biotechnology, metallurgy and microbiology will also find much of interest here.
