Corrosion Prevention and Protection: Practical Solutions presents a functional approach to the various forms of corrosion, such as uniform corrosion, pitting corrosion, crevice corrosion, galvanic corrosion, stress corrosion, hydrogen-induced damage, sulphide stress cracking, erosion-corrosion, and corrosion fatigue in various industrial environments.

The book is split into two parts. The first, consisting of five chapters:

• Introduction and Principles (Fundamentals) of Corrosion
• Corrosion Testing, Detection, Monitoring and Failure Analysis
• Regulations, Specifications and Safety
• Materials: Metals, Alloys, Steels and Plastics
• Corrosion Economics and Corrosion Management

The second part of the book consists of two chapters which present:

• a discussion of corrosion reactions, media, active and active-passive corrosion behaviour and the various forms of corrosion,
• a collection of case histories and practical solutions which span a wide range of industrial problems in a variety of frequently encountered environments, including statues & monuments, corrosion problems in metallurgical and mineral processing plants, boilers, heat exchangers and cooling towers, aluminum and copper alloys, galvanized steel structures as well as hydrogeological environmental corrosion

This text is relevant to researchers and practitioners, engineers and chemists, working in corrosion in industry, government laboratories and academia.

Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, Index Volume 26 (Ed.5) by Kirk-Othmer Hardcover - 1,057 pages Shipped in CLICK HERE Cat.# JW-ICH3 $329.95 BUY Published:  2007   ISBN:  9780471484950

The fifth edition of the Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology builds upon the solid foundation of the previous editions, which have proven to be a mainstay for chemists, biochemists, and engineers at academic, industrial, and government institutions since publication of the first edition in 1949.

The new edition includes necessary adjustments and modernisation of the content to reflect changes and developments in chemical technology. Presenting a wide scope of articles on chemical substances, properties, manufacturing, and uses; on industrial processes, unit operations in chemical engineering; and on fundamentals and scientific subjects related to the field.

The Encyclopedia describes established technology along with cutting edge topics of interest in the wide field of chemical technology, whilst uniquely providing the necessary perspective and insight into pertinent aspects, rather than merely presenting information.

Reviews from the previous edition:

"The most indispensable reference in the English language on all aspects of chemical technology...the best reference of its kind".
—Chemical Engineering News, 1992

"Overall, ECT is well written and cleanly edited, and no library claiming to be a useful resource for chemical engineering professionals should be without it."
—Nicholas Basta, Chemical Engineering, December 1992

A practical summary of the technical and technological as well as nutritional and physiological properties attained through the targeted selection of raw materials and the corresponding production processes. The two authors come from the world's leading gelatine company and adopt here an international approach, enabling their knowledge to be transferred between the various application areas on a global scale.

Following an introduction to and the history of gelatine, the text surveys the global industry and current trends, before going on to analyze the basic physical, chemical and technological properties of gelatine. Manufacturing, including quality and safety and the processing of powder, instant gelatine and hydrolysate are dealt with next, prior to an in-depth review of applications in beverages and foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals, health and osteoarthritis, among others. The whole is rounded off by future visions and a useful glossary.

Aimed at all gelatine users, heads and technicians in production and quality control, product developers, students of food science and pharmacy as well as marketing experts within the industry and patent lawyers.
