Submit a ProposalThe Chemistry of Environmental Engineering
 | Materials, Processing and Applications By Joahannes Karl Fink Copyright: 2020 | Expected Pub Date:2020// ISBN: 9781119707745 | Hardcover | 330 pages | 118 illustrations Price: $195 USD  |
One Line Description
Wide-ranging book looking at the many aspects of chemistry and environmental engineering including the treatment and recycling methods of microplastics, pharmaceutical residues, pesticides, and polymers usage in food engineering and medical applications.
Audience
This book will serve the needs of industry and environmental engineers, polymer scientists as well as other specialists who have only a passing knowledge of the plastics and composites industries but need to know more.

Description
The focus of this book is the chemistry of environmental engineering and its applications, with a special emphasis on the use of polymers in this field. It explores the creation and use of polymers with special properties such as viscoelasticity and interpenetrating networks; examples of which include the creation of polymer-modified asphalt as well as polymers with bacterial adhesion properties.
The text contains the issues of polymerization methods, recycling methods, wastewater treatment, types of contaminants, such as microplastics, organic dyes, and pharmaceutical residues. Special processing methods are detailed, such as atom transfer radical polymerization, enzymatic polymerization, plasma treatment, and several other methods. Electrical applications (photovoltaic materials, solar cells, energy storage and dielectric applications, light-emitting polymers, and fast-charging batteries), and medical applications (drug delivery, tissue engineering, porous coatings as well as the special methods used to fabricate such materials), are dealt with in detail.
