Adsorption, Ion Exchange and Catalysis is essentially a mixture of
environmental science and chemical reactor engineering. More
specifically, three important heterogeneous processes, namely,
adsorption, ion exchange and catalysis, are analysed, from
fundamental kinetics to reactor design with emphasis on their
environmental applications. In Chapter 1, the subject of air and
water pollution is dealt with. Data about pollutants and emission
sources are given and the treatment methods are shortly presented.
In Chapter 2, the very basics and historical development of
adsorption, ion exchange and catalysis are presented as well as
their environmental applications. Chapter 3 is devoted to
heterogeneous processes and reactor analysis. All types of reactors
are described in depth and reactor modelling, hydraulics and
mass/heat transfer phenomena are examined for each type of reactor.
Chapters 4 and 5 are dedicated to adsorption & ion exchange and
catalysis, respectively. The basic principles are presented
including kinetics, equilibrium, mass/heat transfer phenomena as
well as the analytical solutions of the reactor models presented in
Chapter 3. In the sixth chapter, the subject of scale up is
approached.
For the laymen (non scientist-Why
should he/she buy this book?)
Human activities and development focusing on economic growth have an adverse impact on natural and inhabited environment day after day. In this book, all aspects of environment and the associated problems are presented along with solutions proposed to achieve an harmonic co-existence of man and natural life as well as sustainable development. Specifically, following an introductory chapter, the book contains the following sub-chapters: Atmospheric Environment, Aquatic Environment, Soil Environment, Natural Environment, Urban Environment, Energy and Environment, Extraterrestrial Environment and Environment and Development. Latest research findings and the trend of the global environmental policy for each issue are utilised in order to provide the most updated information to the reader. For the user (scientist/expert-why should he/she buy the book?) Human activities and development focusing on economic growth
have an adverse impact on natural and inhabited environment day
after day. It is evident today that the various components of
environment are interconnected to each other and so interrelated
that any attempt to speak for any environmental sector as if in a
tube is meaningless. For example, presenting the greenhouse effect
without fully developing the matters of energy is useless. In this
book, the implications of these interconnections are discussed in
detail, whereas all aspects of environment and the associated
problems are presented along with solutions proposed to achieve an
harmonic co-existence of man and natural life as well as
sustainable development. Following an introductory chapter, the
book contains the following sub-chapters: Atmospheric Environment,
Aquatic Environment, Soil Environment, Natural Environment, Urban
Environment, Energy and Environment, Extraterrestrial Environment
and Environment and Development. All the matters are seen from the
point of view of sustainable development and according to the
latest research findings. The various problems are interconnected
to each other and the relevant international environmental policy
is presented in each chapter. Global environmental policy issues will be addressed Most scientific texts does not relate context with environmental policy, failing thus to address to environment-related professionals Many Tables and Figures (exact number difficult to be estimated at this stage) Simple approach avoiding long analyses and facilitating ease of reading Special Cases sought in all topics Deeper understanding of underlying phenomena and relationships Extraterrestrial Environment issues will be presented Presentation of a totally new subject for relevant books
