Brill Transformations of Allyl-Substituted and
Book SynopsisThe book generally shows the interrelation between allyl unit structure of the initial ester and composition and structure of its products. The first part studies the pathways of chemical regrouping in chlorallylaryl and bisarylallyl esters using quantum-chemical calculations. Energy parameters, structural features and electron structure of intermediates and transition states are also discussed. Simple and regioselective methods for compound synthesis inaccessible in other production techniques are developed. For the first time, new four- and eight-term nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds were produced by aniline alkenylation technique. In 0.05% aqueous solution these compounds displayed 100% activity in suppression of sulfate-reducing bacterium growth. Two new classes of complex action preparations designed for the oil production rate increase were obtained by heterocyclic amine alkenylation. Production methods for N-alkenyl ammonium salts derived from hexamethylene tetramine are developed and introduced into production, and compounds are used on oil fields. In the second part production methods of new mono-, di-, tri- and tetra-tert-butyl hexamethylene tetramine chlorides are discussed. These compounds fully suppress sulfate-reducing bacterium growth already in 200 – 500 mg/l concentration. A universal technology deriving bactericides and sulfide corrosion inhibitors for metals from methallyl chloride is developed. It also gives a method for organochlorine waste and methallyl chloride production wastewater management, safe for the environment.Table of ContentsPreface, Part I: Synthesis and properties of alkenyl aryl esters and N-alkenyl substituted amines, Part II: Development of waste management technique for methallyl chloride production and synthesis of small-tonnage chemical products

Springer Verlag, Singapore Biomethane: Production and Applications
Book SynopsisThis book discusses biomethane and the processes and applications downstream from biogas production. Biogas is a result of anaerobic digestion of agricultural or general household waste, such as manure, plants or food waste, and as such is considered a renewable energy source. Biomethane is a gas that results from any process that improves the quality of biogas by reducing the levels of carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, moisture and other contaminant gases. Chemically, biomethane is the same as methane, and its name refers to the method of production rather than the content. Biomethane plants are generally found in locations with a low population density that are close to farms or food processing plants. In situations where there is no natural gas pipeline nearby, biomethane downstream applications can include storage, transportation, home heating, industrial use and distribution through small-scale local gas grids. This book discusses each of these applications and lists some of the design criteria as well as various issues relating to them.Table of ContentsIntroduction to Biomethane.- Cleaning Processes.- Upgrading to Biomethane.- Biomethane in Transportation.- Substitution of Biomethane in Domestic and Industrial Applications.- Biomethane in Local Gas Grids.- Future usage for Biogas and Biomethane.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Chemistry Of Inkjet Inks, The
Book SynopsisModern printing is based on digitizing information and then representing it on a substrate, such as paper, pixel by pixel. One of the most common methods of digital printing is through inkjet printers. The process of inkjet printing is very complicated, and the ink used must meet certain chemical and physicochemical requirements including those related to storage stability; jetting performance; color management; wetting; and adhesion on substrates. Obviously, these requirements — which represent different scientific disciplines such as colloid chemistry, chemical engineering, and physics — indicate the need for an interdisciplinary book that will cover all aspects of making and utilizing inkjet inks.This book provides basic and essential information on the important parameters which determine ink performance. It covers not only the conventional use of inkjet technology on graphic applications, but also the extension of this method to print various functional materials, such as the use of conductive inks to print light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and three-dimensional structures. Thus, the book will serve a large community: industrial chemists who deal with ink formulations and synthesis of chemicals for inks; chemical engineers and physicists who deal with the rheological and flow properties of inks; and researchers in academic institutes who seek to develop novel applications based on inkjet printing of new materials.Table of ContentsBasic Concepts: Inkjet Printing Technologies (A Hudd); Inkjet Ink Requirements (S Magdassi); Wetting (A Marmur); Droplets on Substrates (P Smith); Tailoring Substrates for Inkjet Printing (M Frenkel); Formulation and Materials for Inkjet Inks: Pigments for Inkjet Printing (A Shakhnovich & J Belmont); Waterborne Inks (C Schmid); Solventborne Inks (J Samuel & P Edwards); UV Inks (S Edison); Materials for UV Inks (I Hatchison); Unique Ink Systems (S Magdassi & M B Moshe); Specialty Inkjet Materials: Conductive Inks (F De La Vega); Printing Cells and Organs (T Boland); 3D Printing (E Nepadansky); Bioprinting (J Sumerel); Printed Electronics (V Subramanian); Ceramic Inks (S Guttler & A Gier).
