Covalent Organic Frameworks: From Fundamentals to Applications presents the latest developments regarding covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and their current applications in industry, research, and academia. COFs are an exciting emerging field of research that show great potential for mitigating the need to rely on fossil fuels for energy conversion and storage, and they also display remarkable properties in relation to environmental remediation and sensing. The book covers the synthesis, characterization, synthetic mechanisms, and applications of COFs using advanced nanoscale materials, with a focus on industrial uses. It also considers commercialization and economic challenges, which are also of major significance. This book will be of interest to materials scientists and engineers in both R&D and academia working with COF-derived materials for energy conversion and storage, environmental remediation, and sensing applications.

This volume in the Green Chemical Innovations and Sustainability Series presents the latest research on biosurfactant molecules and their role in environmental sustainability. Advances in organic chemistry have traditionally enabled the development of hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfactants, largely relying on synthetic materials such as organic polymers. In contrast, biosurfactants—derived from microorganisms or plant sources—offer significant advantages, including high biodegradability, low toxicity, ready availability of raw materials, and ease of application. Also known as green surfactants, these sustainable alternatives play a vital role in modern industrial sectors, including petroleum recovery, personal care products, food processing, and medical applications.Key FeaturesProvides chronological advancements in microbial green surfactants using smart bio-based microorganisms or plant materials.Discusses how green surfactants are obtained from sources based on petroleum or those with microbial or botanical origins and have been extensively used for environmental applications.Includes current developments and challenges during manufacturing of green surfactants.Up-to-date reference material, including websites of interest and information about the latest research.

Learn the synthesis, characterization, scaling mechanisms, and applications of green antiscalants to be utilized in modern industrial platforms Scale formation, or mineral accumulation on the interior surfaces of water lines and containers, is a serious and expensive hazard in numerous industries. The prevention and elimination of scales has long been a major project demanding the production of antiscalant materials; increasing awareness of the toxicity of traditional antiscalants, however, and rising environmental consciousness has increased demand for green antiscalants. It’s an exciting time for new chemists and chemical engineers to get involved in this growing field. Industrial Scale Inhibition provides a comprehensive introduction to existing and ongoing developments in green antiscalants. With coverage of synthesis, characterization, and many more subjects, it promises to make a serious contribution to environmentally conscious industry. The range of environmentally alternatives to traditional toxic antiscalants is explored and analyzed in this crucial volume. Industrial Scale Inhibition readers will also find: Detailed coverage of both synthetic and natural antiscalantsUp-to-date reference material including pertinent websites and connections to the latest researchAnalysis of plant extracts, natural polymers, oleochemicals, and many moreIndustrial Scale Inhibition is a useful reference for chemists and chemical engineers working in research and development and academia, as well as high-level researchers working in the fields of material science and engineering, nanotechnology, energy, environment, colloid sciences, among others.
