Raman Spectroscopy and its Application in Nanostructures

Zhang, Shu-Lin — 6 Feb 2012 08:17:38 +0100

Raman Spectroscopy and its Application in Nanostructures is an original and timely contribution to a very active area of physics and materials science research. This book presents the theoretical and experimental phenomena of Raman spectroscopy, with specialized discussions on the physical fundamentals, new developments and main features in low-dimensional systems of Raman spectroscopy. In recent years physicists, materials scientists and chemists have devoted increasing attention to low-dimensional systems and as Raman spectroscopy can be used to study and analyse such materials as carbon nanotubes, quantum wells, silicon nanowires, etc., it is fast becoming one of the most powerful and sensitive experimental techniques to characterize the qualities of such nanostructures. Recent scientific and technological developments have resulted in the applications of Raman spectroscopy to expand. These developments are vital in providing information for a very broad field of applications: for example in microelectronics, biology, forensics and archaeology. Thus, this book not only introduces these important new branches of Raman spectroscopy from both a theoretical and practical view point, but the resulting effects are fully explored and relevant representative models of Raman spectra are described in-depth with the inclusion of theoretical calculations, when appropriate.

A Guide to the Economic Removal of Metals from Aqueous Solutions

Sharma, Yogesh C. — 30 Jan 2012 08:18:21 +0100

Water pollution is topic of immense and common concern throughout the world. With a rapidly escalating global population and increased industrial development in a growing number of countries, the world's freshwater resources have become stressed. One way to get more out of less is 'treatment and reuse'. Nickel and chromium are toxic metals and they are used extensively in numerous industries such as textiles, beverages, steel, pulp and paper, and electroplating. Their industrial effluent contains large measures of non-biodegradable traces that are harmful to flora, fauna, and human beings. Although there are a number of methodologies used for treatment of metal-containing industrial effluents and waste water, there is not one up to now that offers a high capacity removal rate at an economical cost. . This book presents the results and data from research and adsorption experiments carried out on the removal of nickel and chromium (as well as other metals) from aqueous solutions using modified silica sand. The data resulting from detailed kinetic, equilibrium and thermodynamic studies, show that the removal capacity is increased so the treated water has a higher quality or purity. It also demonstrates that the extraction of metals is achieved at a significant lower cost because the treated water adsorption is a simple process with less maintenance, and because silica is a nontoxic natural material widely available in all parts of the world.

Mass Spectra of Flavors and Fragrances of Natural and Synthetic Compounds

Mondello, Luigi — 19 Dec 2011 08:18:59 +0100

Advanced Component Identification in Complex Mixtures 2nd Edition Expanded by 64% Essential oils are mixtures consisting of monoterpene and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, their oxygenated derivatives, and aliphatic oxygenated compounds. The difficulties that arise in the GC-MS peak identification of these complex samples is due to the fact that many terpenes have identical mass spectra. This is a consequence of similarities both in the initial molecule, or in the fragmentation patterns and rearrangements after ionization. Hence, MS identification of these compounds should always be accompanied by retention time information that may support the MS library search results. This innovative MS library for natural and synthetic products (essential oils, perfumes, etc.) makes the identification of unknown compounds in complex mixtures easier, faster and more reliable. The use of chromatographic information, such as Linear Retention Index (LRI), can be used to filter MS results, enabling the more reliable peak assignment of components in complex mixtures. Mass spectra, relative to standard and well-known simple matrix components, were obtained and recorded through GC-MS separation/identification. Furthermore, traditional information relative to each component (CAS number, common name, CAS name, molecular weight, compound formula, chemical class) plus linear retention index values are entered. Flavors and Fragrances of Natural and Synthetic Compounds, 2nd edition contains 3000 mass spectra, LRI retention data, calculated Kovats RI, and searchable chemical structures of compounds of interest for the flavors and fragrances industry. Prepared by the Prof. Luigi Mondello under rigorous measurement conditions, the mass spectral library contains compounds central to flavor and fragrance research. [Digital/Multimedia]

Advances in Enzymology and Related Areas of Molecular Biology

Toone, Eric J. / Meister, Alton (eds.) — 19 Dec 2011 08:18:21 +0100

Part of a well-established series, this book covers important advances in enzymology, explaining the behavior of enzymes and how they can be utilized to develop novel drugs, synthesize known and novel compounds, and understand evolutionary processes. The coverage focuses on enzymes, the primary catalysts of life processes. In particular, it considers the transglutaminases from the perspective of biochemistry (structure and activity), human disease, and inhibition for therapeutic intervention. [560 Pages, Hardcover]

Introduction to Pharmaceutical Chemical Analysis

Hansen, Steen / Pedersen-Bjergaard, Stig / Rasmussen, Knut — 19 Dec 2011 08:17:31 +0100

This textbook is the first to present a systematic introduction to chemical analysis of pharmaceutical raw materials, finished pharmaceutical products, and of drugs in biological fluids, which are carried out in pharmaceutical laboratories worldwide. In addition, this textbook teaches the fundamentals of all the major analytical techniques used in the pharmaceutical laboratory, and teaches the international pharmacopoeias and guidelines of importance for the field. It is primarily intended for the pharmacy student, to teach the requirements in analytical chemistry for the 5 years pharmacy curriculum, but the textbook is also intended for analytical chemists moving into the field of pharmaceutical analysis. * Addresses the basic concepts, then establishes the foundations for the common analytical methods that are currently used in the quantitative and qualitative chemical analysis of pharmaceutical drugs * Provides an understanding of common analytical techniques used in all areas of pharmaceutical development * Suitable for a foundation course in chemical and pharmaceutical sciences * Aimed at undergraduate students of degrees in Pharmaceutical Science/Chemistry Analytical Science/Chemistry, Forensic analysis * Includes many illustrative examples [512 Pages, Softcover]

Fragments of Fullerenes and Carbon Nanotubes

Scott, Lawrence T. / Petrukhina, Marina — 19 Dec 2011 08:17:22 +0100

Written by internationally recognized chemists, this book is the first of its kind to reflect upon the intense and rapidly growing interest in buckybowls, or fullerene fragments, specifically focusing on their synthesis and reactivity in metal binding reactions. The book broadly covers all aspects related to the fullerene fragment chemistry: current synthetic techniques, description of the available members of this new family, molecular geometry and trends in the solid-state packing, as well as extensions into physical properties and new buckybowl-based molecules and materials. This as-of-yet unresolved technology holds the key to developing ultra-thin, carbon-rich materials as components in molecular-scale electrical circuits. [432 Pages, Hardcover]
