Composite Nanoadsorbents discusses the most recent advances in the field, including promising techniques for waste water decontamination and the advantages and drawbacks of nanoadsorbents in these applications. The implications of nanoadsorbents to public health and future developments for facilitating environmental sustainability are also discussed. New approaches for nanomaterials are analyzed, focusing on the effect of nanotechnology in adsorption applications. The effectiveness of nanosized materials is evaluated, along with cost factors and new synthesis routes of composite nanomaterials. Combining the areas of nanotechnology, adsorption, and composite surface chemistry, the synthesis, modifications and applications of nanotechnology in the adsorption process are demonstrated.

Edited by a prolific expert in the field, this book will be a valuable resource for researchers, postgraduate students and professionals in the fields of nanotechnology, adsorption and materials synthesis.

Advanced Low-Cost Separation Techniques in Interface Science, Volume 30 helps scientists and researchers in academia and industry gain expert knowledge on how to use separation techniques at minimal cost and energy usage. It handles a broad range of highly relevant topics, including modern flotation techniques, low-cost materials in liquid-and gas-phase adsorption, new trends in molecular imprinting, graphenes in separation, nanobubbles and biopolymers in interface science, the reuse of biomaterials, green techniques for wastewaters, and modeling in environmental interfaces. The book shows that these techniques can be both attractive for both research and industrial purposes.

It is intended for chemical engineers working in wastewater treatment industries, membrane industries, pharmaceutical industries, textile or tanneries industries, hybrid-topic industries and energy industries.

This textbook offers a comprehensive and practical guide to oenology, detailing the scientific principles and techniques essential for producing various types of wines. It provides in-depth discussions on the chemistry behind wines and winemaking processes.

Starting with an introductory overview, the textbook examines the fundamental components of wine chemistry, such as alcohols, acids, and phenolic compounds. It then explores a range of winemaking methodologies, from traditional approaches to modern innovations, including detailed protocols for producing diverse wine types. Special attention is given to analytical methodologies crucial for assessing wine quality and authenticity, discussing parameters like sugars, acids, and phenolic content, as well as addressing potential adulterations. In the final sections, readers will gain insights into the role of oenological additives in shaping wine characteristics and their application in vinification processes. The last chapter covers the essentials of wine tasting, including setup, steps, sensory evaluation, types of tests, and the science behind flavors and aromas.

Tailored for students, researchers, and oenology professionals, this textbook is also ideal for wine enthusiasts seeking to deepen their understanding of the scientific principles behind wine production and tasting.
