Bio-based Wood Adhesives - Preparation, Characterization, and Testing (Paperback): Zhongqi He Bio-based Wood Adhesives - Preparation, Characterization, and Testing (Paperback)
Zhongqi He
R1,490 Discovery Miles 14 900 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Adhesive bonding plays an increasing role in the forest product industry and is a key factor for efficiently utilizing timber and other lignocellulosic resources. As synthetic wood adhesives are mostly derived from depleting petrochemical resources and have caused increasing environmental concern, natural product and byproduct-derived adhesives have attracted much attention in the last decades. Although adhesives made from plant and animal sources have been in existence since ancient times, increased knowledge of their chemistry and improved technical formulation of their preparation are still needed to promote their broader industrial applications. The primary goals of this book are to (1) synthesize the fundamental knowledge and latest research on bio-based adhesives from a remarkable range of natural products and byproducts, (2) identify need areas and provide directions of future bio-based adhesive research, and (3) help integrating research findings in practical adhesive application for maximal benefits. This book covers information on a variety of natural products and byproducts and the latest research on formulation, testing and improvement of the relevant adhesives in fifteen chapters written by an international group of accomplished contributors. This book will serve as a valuable reference source for university faculty, graduate students, research scientists, agricultural and wood engineers, international organization advocators and government agency regulators who work and deal with enhanced utilization of agricultural and forest products and byproducts.

Applied Manure and Nutrient Chemistry for Sustainable Agriculture and Environment (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original... Applied Manure and Nutrient Chemistry for Sustainable Agriculture and Environment (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2014)
Zhongqi He, Hailin Zhang
R5,643 Discovery Miles 56 430 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Due to the rapid increase in world population and improving living standards, the global agriculture sector is confronting with challenges for the sustainability of agricultural production and of the environment. Intensive high-yield agriculture is typically dependent on addition of fertilizers (synthetic chemicals, animal manure, etc.). However, non-point nutrient losses from agricultural fields due to fertilization could adversely impact the environment. Increased knowledge on plant nutrient chemistry is required for improving utilization efficiency and minimizing loses from both inorganic and organic nutrient sources. For this purpose, the book is composed of 19 chapters that highlight recent research activities in applied nutrient chemistry geared toward sustainable agriculture and environment. Topics of interest include, but are not limited, to speciation, quantification, and interactions of various plant nutrients and relevant contributories in manure, soil, and plants. This book outlooks emerging researchable issues on alternative utilization and environmental monitoring of manure and other agricultural by products that may stimulate new research ideas and direction in the relevant fields.

Environmental Chemistry of Animal Manure (Paperback): Zhongqi He Environmental Chemistry of Animal Manure (Paperback)
Zhongqi He
R2,684 Discovery Miles 26 840 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Animal manure is traditionally regarded as a valuable resource of plant nutrients. However, there is an increasing environmental concern associated with animal manure utilization due to high and locally concentrated volumes of manure produced in modern intensified animal production. Although considerable research has been conducted on environmental impacts and best management practices, the environmental chemistry of animal manure has not developed accordingly. This book analyses the basic knowledge and latest research on the environmental chemistry of animal manure.

Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is an analytical technique that separates ions based on their electrophoretic mobility with the use of an applied voltage. With the high efficiency and broad separating capabilities, CE has continuously spurred research interests among the scientific society to execute further developments in the technique. This book is a timely synthesis of the on-going CE development and application research in the formats of general reviews and detailed case studies. All chapters are invited contributions and peer-reviewed. This book is basically the result of the combined efforts of the dedicated international group of contributors who are from Argentina, Canada, China, Czech Republic, France, Italy, Japan, and USA. This book should be of interest to university faculty, graduate students, research scientists, industrial engineers, and anyone who works and deals with various aspects of CE development and application.
