Coauthored by Vishakha
Monga, Paul Flowers, Klaus Theopold, William R. Robinson, and Richard Langley,
it is a fully comprehensive online resource for students and professionals in
chemical engineering who need to know the fundamental principles of inorganic
chemistry within their profession. The issues addressed include atomic
structure, chemical bonding, molecular geometry, and transition metal chemistry,
thus forming enough foundational knowledge to predict the behavior of inorganic
substances involved in the processes used in industry. Text also encompasses
coordination chemistry, electrochemistry and thermodynamics, therefore providing
readers with tools to apply concepts of inorganic chemistry to design solutions
for real engineering problems. Be it designing new materials or optimizing
industrial processes, this book is an indispensable resource for those
interested in how inorganic chemistry supports the application of chemical
engineering.

In this critical approach at ozone, the two take a
critical approach but is seen at the same time that it has this duality of
protecting the stratosphere, while polluting the ground level. Through this
book, one should expect a detailed analysis concerning environmental protection,
efforts to protect the ozone layer, and avoidance of ground-level formation of
ozone contributing to air pollution. Interests covered by the authors are
topics: strong oxidizing properties of ozone, applications in water and
wastewater treatment and medicine for disinfection and therapeutic treatment.
The book will become a useful source for environmental scientists and engineers,
health professionals interested in ecological and practical implications of
ozone, and those focused on its technological applications.
