Applications in biomolecular engineering, biochemistry and biomedical engineering, among others, are discussed before concluding with coverage of biomolecules as anticorrosion materials.

Handbook of Organic Named Reactions: Reagents, Mechanisms and Applications discusses the reactions used in organic synthesis, showing the value and scope of these reactions and how they are used in the synthesis of organic molecules. Presenting an accounting of the traditional methods used, as well as the latest details on the advances made in synthetic chemistry research, the named reactions of carbonyl compounds, alcohols, amines, heterocyclic molecules, rearrangements and coupling reactions are all included. Explaining the established research and including detailed mechanism information, step-by-step descriptions, problems and the applications of named reactions in industry, this book also discusses emerging aspects.

Additional sections cover present and future research directions, making it an invaluable resource for all those needing to familiarize themselves with the concepts and applications of designated reactions.

The marine environment is a rich but underexploited source of commercially interesting natural products with different applications. Several marine organisms, such as seaweeds, microalgae, sponges, cyanobacteria, ascidians, and fungi, are sources of natural valuable molecules. These chemical compounds range from small molecules and enzymes to highly complex secondary metabolites that show bioactivities in physiological systems. It is thus of great importance to collect information concerning the discovery of these molecules and their characterization and relation to human diseases.

Gathering data about novel technologies and sources to obtain and isolate such as precious molecules as well as new applications for them is extremely appreciated in the chemical field. It is very useful for chemists to obtain these molecules with high purity to be used as analytical standards to calibrate the chromatography equipment. Many of these compounds are not commercially available, so the isolation methods of these molecules from microalgae, seaweeds, and cyanobacteria is a challenging task. The availability of some marine molecules has been a long-term problem due to the difficulty of their synthesis. Because of the complexity of their structure, the total synthesis has been shown to be difficult. Developing protocols to obtain reference standards from natural sources has shown satisfactory results in the chemical industry.

Marine Molecules From Algae and Cyanobacteria addresses these topics, highlighting fundamentals of biomolecules, their roll in living organism, structure elucidation, sources, important characteristics, and the industrial applications of these biomaterials for educational (academic) as well as industrial purposes. This book covers all methodologies used in the search of marine natural products: screening of marine molecules by chemical methods like HPLC, LC-MS/MS, the isolation of high-value compounds with biotechnological potential, discovery of new molecules, and the optimization of green extraction procedures of these molecules, such as supercritical fluid extraction and pressurized solvent extraction, and other alternative chemical techniques applied in the exploration for marine compound.

Metal-Oxide-Based Nanomaterials and their Advanced Environmental Applications addresses the application of metal-oxide-based materials in soil, water, and wastewater treatment remediation technologies. These materials are particularly promising for applications as adsorbents, catalysts, and sensors, among others. The book provides researchers, students, professors, and industry experts with fundamental and advanced information in the field of metal oxide materials for environmental applications. Metal oxides and their physical, magnetic, optical, and chemical characteristics are of increasing interest to researchers addressing soil, wastewater, groundwater, and surface water contamination. Novel materials based on metal oxides show remarkable sensitivity to alterations in their composition and structure, and lend themselves especially well to cutting-edge procedures or processes for environmental remediation.

This book focuses on the biologically derived adsorbent with numerous applications in wastewater treatment, metal recovery, biosensor development, and so forth. It initiates with the description of biological sources of biosorbents followed by applications of biosorbents, biosorption isotherms, assessment of biosorbents with various tools, pretreatment of biosorbents, and its mode of action. Some less explored areas like separation of radionuclides, biosorption of volatile organic compounds, and animal-based biosorbents are also explained.

Features:

This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in bioprocess engineering, microbiology, and biotechnology.

Combining high energy density and high power delivery, supercapacitors are an attractive form of energy storage compared to batteries and dielectric capacitors. Their rapid charge/discharge cycles and superior longevity are of particular interest to many industries, including transport, telecommunications, defence, and energy distribution.

The introductory chapters to this book present the fundamentals of this growing technology, including design principles and fabrication of supercapacitors, through to manufacture at an industrial scale. With electrode materials key to their design, much of the second part of the book explores the range of their sources, including biomass feedstocks and composites. Combining this knowledge, the third part of the book is dedicated to various applications around the world, supported by case studies and opportunities for commercialisation and sustainability.
