Bücher der Reihe Energy and Environment

Nanotechnology and nanomaterials have impacted all engineering, science and technology sectors owing to their superior properties and performance profiles as compared to the conventional materials. Energy and environment are the two main sectors among these which have experienced widespread application of these nanotechnologies and nanomaterials. Specifically, the applications of such materials and technologies in enhanced oil recovery, gas adsorption, gas separation, corrosion protection, fuel cell components and chemical reactions have been achieved. To elaborate these in detail, the present volume provides fundamental aspects of these materials and technologies, along with significant insights into their development for particular applications. Thus, the chapters not only make the readers aware about their current state of art, but also allow the users to make efficient choice of materials and processes as well as to tune these further to target specific applications. Overall, the multitude of various materials and technologies targeting a whole spectrum of applications makes the book a valuable asset for a diverse audience ranging from postgraduate students to material scientists, chemical engineers and researchers in both academia and industry.

A large number of biofuels have been developed in the recent years to overcome the challenges associated with depletion of fossil fuels and environmental pollution. Especially, major breakthroughs with respect to feedstocks, synthesis, properties and applications of the high-quality biofuels have been achieved. Though many challenges exist till date which hinder the large scale commercialization of these materials, however, it is envisaged that growth in the technological knowhow as well as new feedstocks in the near future will continue to drive the development of biofuels. The book aims to present the recent developments in various aspects of such biofuels, especially related to feedstocks, synthetic methodologies as well as commercialization. The wealth of information about synthesis and commercialization of many commercially relevant biofuels makes the book a valuable asset for a diverse audience ranging from materials, chemical and biochemical engineers as well as practicing scientists in academia and industry to postgraduate university students in various engineering disciplines.For more details, please visit https://centralwestpublishing.com
