Roll forming is one of the most widely used processes in the world for forming metals. Most of the existing knowledge resides in various journal articles or in the minds of those who have learned from experience. Providing a vehicle to systematically collect and share this important knowledge, the R... More

Man's use of enzymes dates back to the earliest times of civilization. Important human activities such as the production of certain types of foods and beverages, and the tanning of hides and skins to produce leather for garments, serendipitously took advantage of enzyme activities. Important advance... More

The second edition of the book Surface Chemistry of Froth Flotation by Dr. S.R. Rao presents many significant advances of the 20 years since the publication of the first edition, including electrochemistry of sulfide flotation, use of chelating compounds in flotation, mechanism of activation and dep...

Tiny devices with huge potential! New concepts of chemical synthesis have led to an increasing demand for miniaturization and more complex systems. Microreaction technology is a hot topic as it opens completely new possibilities for chemical engineering, combinatorial chemistry, and biotechnology. ... More

Microfluidics is a microtechnological field dealing with the precise transport of fluids (liquids or gases) in small amounts (e.g. microliters, nanoliters or even picoliters). This book gives a survey of microfluidics: biophysical, capillary forces, computational fluid dynamics, droplet formation, e... More

Hellwinkel gives a short and general introduction to the systematic nomenclature of organic compounds. On the basis of carefully selected examples it offers simple and concise guidelines for the generation of systematic compound names as codified by the IUPAC rules. Besides the most common compound ... More

The batch distillation process has existed for many centuries. It is perhaps the oldest technology for separating or purifying liquid mixtures and is the most frequently used separation method in batch processes. In the last 25 years, with continuous development of faster computers and sophisticated... More

Polyurethane and Related Foams: Chemistry and Technology is an in-depth examination of the current preparation, processing, and applications of polyurethanes (PURs) and other polymer foams. Drawing attention to novel raw materials, alternative blowing agents, and new processing methods, the book acc... More

Principles of Analytical Chemistry aims to ease the first contact of students pursuing different scientific and technical studies by providing them with a simple, general overview of the discipline. The objective of this innovative textbook is to teach rather than to inform. Using keywords of modern... More
