Book Synopsis Nanotechnology-Based Industrial Applications of Ionic Liquids by : Inamuddin
Download or read book Nanotechnology-Based Industrial Applications of Ionic Liquids written by Inamuddin and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-09-03 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerous solvents used in chemical processes have poisonous and unsafe properties that pose significant ecological concerns ranging from atmospheric emissions to the contamination of water effluents. To combat these ecological threats, over the course of the past two decades, the field of green chemistry has grown to develop more natural reaction processes and techniques involving the use of nonconventional solvents to diminish waste solvent production and thus decrease negative impact on the environment. Ionic liquids in particular are more environmentally friendly substitutes to conventional solvents, and as such, have seen more widespread use in the past decade. They have been used in such processes as extraction, separation, purification of organic, inorganic, and bioinorganic compounds, reaction media in biochemical and chemical catalysis, green organic and drug synthesis, among other industrial applications. Thus, in proving themselves a suitable greener media for economic viability in chemical processes, ionic liquids are leading to more sustainable development. This edition explores the application of ionic liquids as a green solvent. It contains a state-of-the-art overview on ionic liquids as green solvents for chemical processes and techniques, as well as some of their useful industrial applications.

Book Synopsis Engaging People in Sustainability by : Daniella Tilbury
Download or read book Engaging People in Sustainability written by Daniella Tilbury and published by IUCN. This book was released on 2004 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is based on the exchange of professional experiences which featured in an IUCN CEC workshop in August 2002. Practitioners from around the world shared their models of good practice and explored the challenges involved in engaging people in sustainability. The difficulties facing practitioners vary between country and context but some challenges are universal: A lack of clarity in communicating what is meant by sustainable development; An ambition to educate everyone to bring about a global citizenship; Social, organisational or institutional factors constrain change to sustainable development, yet there is an emphasis on formal education, and community educators do not receive the same support; A lack of balance in addressing the integration of environmental, social and economic dimensions leading to an interpretation that ESD is mainly about environment and conservation issues; New learning (rather than teaching) approaches are called for to promote more debate in society. Yet, few are trained or experienced in these new approaches. Practitioners need support to explore new ways of promoting learning. [Foreword, ed].

Download or read book The Olive Field written by Ralph Bates and published by New York : Dutton. This book was released on 1936 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ralph Bates, an Englishman, was one of the organizers of the International Brigade in the Spanish Revolution. This novel, about the stirrings of anarchist activity in southern Spain between 1932 and 1934 and the outbreak of revolution in Asturias in 1934, was published in 1936. Bates' urgent commitment to the workers' cause fires the book but never rages alone at the expense of the characters' tale. The main protagonists are two friends-- Diego Mudarra, a guitarist, and Joachin Caro, a worker in the olive fields, and Lucia Robledo, who bears Mudarra's illegitimate child and whom Joachin marries. Beyond this personal triangle, Bates explores the configurations of other men during the political and social upheaval in the small peasant town of Los Olivares: a priest and his assistant; landowner Don Fadrique oblivious to the ferment; Argote, his tough, thieving "foreman" whose passion is the olive trees. Through, or in spite of, the actions of all these men, Bates projects the particular events which overtake the town-- a riot, an abortive attempt to blow up Fadrique's dam, the general strike in the olive fields, the mass arrests and mass killings. Bates is both a lyricist and a realist. The short chapters and the disconnected flow of incidents convey the sense of a chronology of disaster against a timeless landscape. Sometimes one feels that Bates is trying to tell too much too fast. But what does it matter. He has something to say."--Kirkus
