A clear understanding of information provision and how this affects the assessment of chemical safety is fundamentally important to the success of policy on chemicals and ultimately to the sustainability of the chemicals industry.

In this book the scientific processes that underpin the policy are explained in a practical way. It includes coverage of techniques to help solve the problems of using potentially risky and hazardous chemicals through the use of less hazardous alternatives and ‘green chemistry', as well as the analysis of the risks of the use of the most hazardous substances against the social and economic benefits of use.

This book covers the following main themes: i) Assessment of chemical risk; ii) Risk management; iii) Hazard reduction, substitution and green chemistry; iv) Risk versus benefit -- socio-economic analysis. The book acts as a practical guide and overview to chemicals risk assessment and risk management (in the EU context), as well as a support text for planning for the challenges of the future, which will see ever-increasing pressure to withdraw hazardous substances from the EU (and global) market, balanced against opportunities for innovation in the development of less hazardous chemicals.

• REACH regulation & risk assessment of chemicals is a new legal requirement for chemical companies throughout the E.U., and likely to be replicated worldwide.

• Contains a balance of scientific and technical information, together with coverage of policy and legislation.

For the chemical industry, government regulators, NGOs, academic researchers, policy-makers, process and design engineers and the waste and recycling industry.

This book is unique in its problem-solving approach to enzyme biocatalysis.

Enzyme biocatalysis is a fast-growing area in process biotechnology that has expanded from the traditional fields of foods, detergents, and leather applications to more sophisticated uses in the pharmaceutical and fine-chemicals sectors and environmental management. Conventional applications of industrial enzymes are expected to grow, with major opportunities in the detergent and animal feed sectors, and new uses in biofuel production and human and animal therapy.

In order to design more efficient enzyme reactors and evaluate performance properly, sound mathematical expressions must be developed which consider enzyme kinetics, material balances, and eventual mass transfer limitations. With a focus on problem solving, each chapter provides abridged coverage of the subject, followed by a number of solved problems illustrating resolution procedures and the main concepts underlying them, plus supplementary questions and answers.

Contains: Enzyme properties and applications; enzyme kinetics; enzyme reactor design and operation 146 worked problems and solutions in enzyme biocatalysis.

Water Chemistry

For years, operators have learned that they have very little control over lagoon and fixed film sewage treatment systems. This book gives these personnel a new understanding of how these processes work and does so in a practical manner that reduces technical jargon and equations, emphasising necessary information for understanding biological conditions at the treatment process.

Biology of the Wetlands discusses the characteristics and significance of the single- and multi-celled organisms found in wastewater treatment plants and the conditions that support their growth. This knowledge helps operators to make more informed process control decisions. Unlike typical texts written for design and consulting engineers and full of technical jargon, equations, and kinetics, this guide provides the necessary information in a format that is accessible and actionable for plant operators and technicians and helpful to others involved in wastewater treatment.

• Tested in short-course situations by the author over the last 15 years.

• Gives operators a new understanding of how wastewater treatment processes with lagoons and fixed films function and demonstrates that operators can have greater control over them than previously taught.

• Directs the material in a practical manner at operators instead of design and consulting engineers.

• Reduces the jargon, chemical equations, and kinetics that overwhelm most operators and technicians; provide necessary information for understanding biological conditions at the treatment process.

For operators, technicians, research professionals, sanitary engineers, chemists, microbiologists, State regulators, technical assistance personnel, regional and state water pollution control associations, educators and graduate students in environmental engineering.

Michael H. Gerardi holds an M.S. in biology from James Madison University and is very active in the Water Environment Federation.

404 pp. Pub: 04/04/14

Sustainable Chemistry & Green Chemistry

Presents an integrated approach to energy crops and their utilisation, highlighting the opportunities and challenges of the most promising cellulosic crops for the bioenergy industry.

This book presents comprehensive documentation of how cellulosic energy crops (as opposed to sugar, starch or oil crops) can be sustainably produced and converted to energy, both liquid fuels and electricity. It describes adaptation of these crops to different climates and soils, planting procedures and requirements, management, harvesting procedures and end uses.

To achieve long-term sustainability, emerging cellulosic bioenergy and/or bio-products industries must meet three crucial and equally important challenges. One is that the new enterprise(s) must be economical. The second is they must not have adverse environmental impacts, and finally, they must be socially acceptable.

The final two chapters provide readers with case study examples of an actual bioenergy commercialisation project and a glimpse at activities in Brazil, China and India.

• Provides in-depth, focused coverage of cellulosic energy crops, how to produce them sustainably and how to use them to produce energy.

• Energy crop research is highly fragmented with numerous disconnects, particularly between the feedstock and conversion sectors. This book presents a broad and integrated approach, highlighting how different crops match the requirements of different conversion technologies.

• Describes adaptation of cellulosic crops to different climates and soils, planting procedures and requirements, management, harvesting procedures and end uses.

• Discusses best management practices for sustainably growing, harvesting, storing, transporting and pre-processing these crops with minimal negative impacts on the environment and food production.

300 pp. Pub: 04/06/14

Inorganic Chemistry

Inorganic chemistry is a foundational subject of scientific study, but due to the memorisation-heavy nature of most introductory courses, not a popular subject for undergraduates. By instead approaching the subject through the study of reaction mechanisms ("arrow-pushing"), this book provides a logical, gentle, and stimulating introduction to inorganic chemistry.

• The first book to apply the arrow-pushing method to inorganic chemistry teaching.

• With the reaction mechanisms approach ("arrow-pushing"), students will no longer have to rely on memorisation as a device for learning this subject, but will instead have a logical foundation for this area of study.

• Teaches students to recognise common inorganic species as electrophiles and nucleophiles, coupled with organic-style arrow-pushing.

• Provides a degree of integration with what students learn in organic chemistry, facilitating learning of this subject.

• Serves as an invaluable companion to any introductory inorganic chemistry textbook.

For college and university students majoring in the chemical sciences (chemistry, biochemistry, materials science, etc.), and teaching assistants / instructors / professors teaching introductory inorganic chemistry courses.
