Book Description

Controlling the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOC) became a very prominent environmental issue with the passage of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, and will continue to be an environmental priority through the next decade. No single technology has played as important a role in the control of VOC emissions as thermal oxidation. It has the ability to destroy VOCs in a one-step process that produces innocuous by-products. Design of Thermal Oxidation Systems for Volatile Organic Compounds provides all the information needed for developing a thermal oxidation design in a single reference. It covers design, operation, and maintenance as well as the principles behind the classification of volatile organic compounds as hazardous waste. The author explores the primary purpose of thermal oxidizers and discusses their limitations. The book provides: · practical, complete, and concise thermal oxidizer design principles · an outline of state-of-the-art design principles · a practical rather than theoretical approach · real industrial examples in each chapter With the new regulations that affect VOC emissions, engineers from such diverse fields as oil refining, chemical distillation and separation processes, and pharmaceutical industries will need to design and implement thermal oxidation systems. Design of Thermal Oxidation Systems for Volatile Organic Compounds provides a reference to the entire design process, from conceptualization to operation and maintenance.

THE TEXT for Thermal Oxidation Design.......2000-08-17

Straight-forward, Easy-to-Use, this text offers basic design information for those new to the subject of thermal oxidation. Although lacking complete design detail, it offers excellent rule-of-thumb information for those needing a 85% design. Lacking is a cost estimation section and detail engineering information.

Book Description

Asymmetric oxidation is a potent method for the stereo-controlled synthesis of functional highly compounds. Asymmetric Oxidation Reactions: A Practical Approach contains protocols for all the major methods of asymmetric oxidation reactions: the C-H bond, epoxidation of olefins, epoxidation using peroxides, dihydroxylation, aminohydroxyaltion, aziridination, hydroxylation of enolates and enols, Baeyer-Villiger oxidations, oxidations of sulfides, selenides, and other heteroatoms, and oxidation using biocatalysts. Each section is written by experts and as well as the protocols provides the reader with the features of the individual reactions, optimal reaction conditions, experimental precautions, and sample results. This book is therefore an indispensable laboratory companion to any chemist performing asymmetric oxidations.

Book Description

This authoritative and comprehensive volume presents the essence of catalytic chemistry, describing the structure of catalysts, the technology in which they are used and the chemical transformations that occur during reaction.
Heterogeneous catalytic oxidation is a key technique used in the large-scale production of organic chemicals. This text uses catalytic oxidation to explain the principles of heterogeneous catalysis and includes descriptions of how reactants and products interact on the molecular scale with the active sites on the surface of these materials.
Following an introduction to the principles and chemistry of catalytic oxidation, Professor Hodnett uses detailed case studies which represent and illustrate the fundamentals and technology for specific aspects of heterogeneous catalytic oxidation including:
* Propene Oxidation to Acrolein
* n-Butane Oxidation to Maleic Anhydride
* Epoxidation over Silver Catalysts
* Fundamentals and Technologies of the Catalytic Destruction of Volatile Organic Compounds
* Ammoxidation for the Insertion of Nitrogen into Organic Structures
* Oxidative Insertion of Chlorine into Ethylene and Catalytic Combustion of Chlorinated Hydrocarbons
* Liquid Phase Oxidations with Particular Emphasis on the Use of Hydrogen Peroxide as an Oxidizing Agent

Oxidation of Alcohols to Aldehydes and Ketones.......2007-06-01

This book (as well as the whole collection "Basic Reactions") is not
well-suited for students of Organic Chemistry. Rather, it is a
practical guide for organic chemists working at the bench, because
besides theoretical sections, it contains plenty of practically
important information:
- A lot of hints on optimization (different conditions and additives,
what can inhibit and what can accelerate reaction, buffering etc.).
- Compatibility of different conditions with functional groups and
protecting groups.
- Survey of observed side reactions and solutions how to avoid or mitigate them.
- Oxidation selectivity between 1°, 2° and allylic (benzylic) alcohols.
- Different types of work up: all advantages and disadvantages (how to
avoid emulsions, how to purify easier, sensitivity of groups etc.)

I have found this book very useful in my daily work in total synthesis
and I am looking forward for next volumes of this collection.

NB: Another book from this collection which deserves attention is:
"Oxidation of Primary Alcohols to Carboxylic Acids" by the same
authors.

Book Description

The formation of smog in urban atmospheres involves the interaction of sunlight with an air mixture containing nitrogen oxides and reactive hydrocarbons -- the most reactive class of these hydrocarbons being alkenes. This important new book, by a team of leading atmospheric chemists, reviews and evaluates the existing literature on the atmospheric chemistry of these compounds, focusing on the search for a more quantitative understanding of the phenomenon which can then be applied to control methods. It includes detailed examinations of the reactions of alkenes and even suggests areas for further laboratory studies. This book is ideal for climatologists, meteorologists, and scientists studying the chemistry of the atmosphere and can also serve as a valuable text for graduate courses in atmospheric chemistry and atmospheric science.
