This
note provides an introduction to inorganic chemistry with a focus on
fundamentals of atomic and molecular structure and descriptive inorganic chemistry , structure/geometries of small
molecules, bonding theories both in inorganic molecules and in the solid state.
Major topics covered includes: Electrons in atoms, Energy Levels, Quantum
Numbers, Magnetism, Electrons in Molecules, Lone Pair Repulsions, Symmetry in
Molecules, Molecular Orbitals and Diatomics, Acids and Bases, Crystalline Solid
State, Main Group Chemistry and Coordination Chemistry.
Authored
by Michael Schorr and Benjamin Valdez, the book covers critical applications of
phosphoric acid in several sectors, particularly in the production of phosphatic
fertilizers, metal surface treatments, and in the food and beverages industry.
It now forms a staple part in many industrial applications, such as steel
pickling, improved adhesion of paint, and preventing iron sedimentation from
becoming suspended in foods and beverages, such as cola. It addresses several
problems experienced in phosphoric acid industries-though, not exhaustive, it
covers some of the most significant ones: environmental concerns and supply
chain issues among others; technological inefficiencies are included in this
study. The book also presents practical solutions to the challenges identified,
which makes it a high resource for professionals and researchers in these
industries. Dealing with both the technical and industrial point of view
concerning the applications and problems related to the production of phosphoric
acid, this book contributes towards a better understanding of its applications
and towards improved practice in synthesis and use.
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.
