This work highlights and celebrates the contributions African Americans in the chemical sciences have made, despite racial and gender barriers.

Green Chemical Processing, vol. 7.

Highlights current developments in the field and outlines real examples of green chemistry education in practice, reviewing initiatives and approaches that have already proven effective. By considering both current successes and existing barriers that must be overcome to ensure sustainability becomes part of the fabric of chemistry education, the book's authors hope to drive collaboration between disciplines and help lay the foundations for a sustainable future.

"A beautifully illustrated and in-depth yet accessible introduction to the science of water, the most common substance on Earth, and one of its most peculiar"

This book provides non-specialists with a basic understanding of the underlying concepts of quantum chemistry. It is both a text for second- or third-year undergraduates and a reference for researchers who need a quick introduction or refresher.

The focus of the book is on key aspects of novel process intensification technologies (processes and equipment), i.e., absorption and adsorption, working principles, and design and applications.

Materials research foundations ; v. 77

In chemistry, photocatalysis refers to the acceleration of a photoreaction in the presence of a catalyst. Various aspects and applications of this process are described in the six chapters of this book.

Vol. 78: Chapters in this new release include Catching reactive species in manganese oxidation catalysis, Mechanistic Puzzles from Iron(III) TAML Activators Including Substrate Inhibition, Zero-Order and Dual Catalysis, Stepping towards C-circular economy: Integration of solar chemistry and biosystems for efficient CO2 conversion into added value chemicals and fuels, and much more.

Provides an overview of the entire Nitrate cycle and the processes influencing Nitrate transformation, and clearly identifies the role of Nitrate as an essential nutrient in plant growth, food preservation, and human health.

Vol. 55, provides a valuable source of information that is ideal not only for physical organic chemists applying their expertise to both novel and traditional problems, but also for non-specialists across diverse areas who identify a physical organic component in their approach to research.

This 6 volume set presents a groundbreaking resource in this branch of natural organic compounds and demonstrates how proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy can be manipulated in structures of natural organic compounds.

This monograph comprises six chapters, each dealing with a different aspect of metal-organic frameworks.

Catalysis in Biomass Conversion, Volume 77 in the Advances in Inorganic Chemistry series, presents timely and informative reviews written by experts in the field.

This book includes discussion of the theory of a water molecule, its properties, both in the pure state and as a solvent. In particular, it emphasizes the relevance of water to life. Water is the most important liquid. It is also a vital component of all living systems.

This collection of experiences, from new instructors to seasoned ones, includes evidence-based ideas that have been implemented (with varying degrees of success) across diverse chemistry classrooms to improve student engagement. This volume serves as a guide for instructors looking for new teaching techniques to best serve their students.

This volume explores current efforts across the world to incorporate environmentally conscious material into chemistry curricula. Educators spanning K-12, undergraduate, and graduate classrooms provide perspectives on new developments as well as methods to introduce preservice and current teachers to environmental teaching best practices.

Mai Thi Nguyen-Kim reveals the amazing chemistry behind everyday things (like baking and toothpaste) and not-so-everyday things (like space travel). With a relatable, funny, and conversational style, she explains essential chemical processes everyone should know--and turns the ordinary into extraordinary. Over the course of a single day, Mai shows us that chemistry is everywhere: we just have to look for it.

Chemistry is not just about microscopic atoms doing inscrutable things; it is the process that makes flowers and galaxies. This book captures chemistry as it unfolds. Using such techniques as microphotography, time-lapse photography, and infrared thermal imaging, The Beauty of Chemistry shows us how chemistry underpins the formation of snowflakes, the science of champagne, the colors of flowers, and other wonders of nature and technology.
