This book provides an authoritative review of the origin and extraction of strontium and its impact on the environment It also presents the latest strontium decontamination and remediation strategies Around the globe nuclear power is being recognized as a major source of energy and is expected to play a crucial role in meeting the energy requirements of present day society However the pros and cons have to be considered and the safe disposal of large amounts of radionuclide wastes is becoming a matter of great concern These wastes encompass contaminants such as heavy metals and toxic substances which may exist in solid liquid or gaseous forms or a combination of these and as such their disposal requires particular attention The book focuses on 90Sr which is a predominant isotope of strontium and considered an intermediate level radioactive waste with a half life of 28 8 years average biological half life of 18 years and 546 KeV decay energy Written by expert contributors it addresses occurrence detection and extraction of strontium the chemical and nuclear properties of strontium isotopes the fate and migration of strontium in soil its bioaccumulation and its associated health impact mechanistic toxicity response as well as related regulation and

This text''s clear explanations and descriptions of the mechanisms of chemical reactions teach students how to apply principles in order to predict the outcomes of reactions. The Fifth Edition offers a focus on biological applications that renders the text accessible to the majority of organic chemistry students and consistent with the interdisciplinary nature of scientific research."One Small Step" features apply familiar concepts to new reagents and reactions, encouraging students to analyze material rather than memorize the outcome to each new reaction."Visualizing the Reaction" features help students recognize important reactions by demonstrating the complete mechanisms for each type of reaction. HM ClassPrep with HM Testing CD-ROM includes lecture outlines and line art from the textbook in PowerPoint, the Computerized Test Bank and the Word files of the Test Bank in a new, easy-to-use interface with complete cross-platform flexibility, electronic versions of materials from the Instructor''s Resource Manual, and a transition guide that directs instructors through this new edition.

Armed with this book, chemical engineers will have a collection of modern strategies for the design of chemical products and processes. It emphasizes a systematic approach and integrates product design more thoroughly throughout the chapters. New case studies on process design are included to make the concepts more relevant. The social aspects and economics of product design are introduced, and the Stage-Gate Product Development Process is explored in parallel tracks for several chemical products. The accompanying CD-ROM also provides chemical engineers with numerous examples of the simulator input and output, with frame-by-frame instructions to discuss the nature of the models provided for the processing units.

High Quality Science requires High Quality Data! Today, more than ever, the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics is critical in ensuring that researchers, educators, and students have the highest quality data for chemical compounds and physical particles. Available both in print and online, the Handbook covers 390 chemistry, physics, and related subjects organized in easy-to-find, well-organized tables. Every year, new reported data and new scientific areas are added, making the Handbook the largest comprehensive physical science data source available anywhere. Handbook features include:All data reviewed and evaluated by subject matter expertsStandardized chemical names, structures, property names, and property unitsImportant information on subjects such as chemical and laboratory safety, and nomenclatureChemical and physical data critical for fields such as environmental science, bio-medical chemistry, organic and inorganic chemistry, materials innovation, geo- and astrophysics, and solid-state scienceDigital tools in our Online Edition to analyze, graph, process, and exploit our data content

The comprehensive guide to all stages of automotive paints and coating. New topics of interest covered by this second edition are colour control, specification and testing of coatings as well as quality and supply concepts.Now in its second edition and still the only book of its kind, this is an authoritative treatment of all stages of the coating process -- from body materials, paint shop design, and pre-treatment, through primer surfacers and top coats. New topics of interest covered are color control, specification and testing of coatings, as well as quality and supply concepts, while valuable information on capital and legislation aspects is given. Invaluable for engineers in the automotive and paints and coatings industry as well as for students in the field.

Esta novena edición, totalmente reestructurada y puesta al día, constituye una obra de síntesis que presenta las técnicas modernas de análisis químicos, biológicos y microbiológicos del agua. Con los avances tecnologicos mas recientes en el campo de la quimica analitica, esta nueva edicion presenta un contenido fundamentalmente renovado, pero conservando el espiritu y la forma de las anteriores ediciones. Enriquecida con datos referentes a los numerosos contaminantes organicos determinados por las nuevas reglamentaciones, integra los contaminantes emergentes y se basa en los nuevos indicadores biologicos que permiten la evaluacion del estado ecologico de las masas de agua. La interpretacion de los resultados analiticos ocupa un lugar preferente, lo que contribuye a que esta obra sea una referencia obligada para los profesionales del agua.
