Biomethanation I by Birgitte K. Ahring,B.K. Ahring Pdf

Anaerobic digestion is a major field for the treatment of waste and wastewater. Lately the focus has been on the quality of the effluent setting new demands for pathogen removal and for successful removal of unwanted chemicals during the anaerobic process. The two volumes on Biomethanation are devoted to presenting the state of art within the science and application of anaerobic digestion. They describe the basic microbiolgical knowledge of importance for understanding the processes of anaerobic bioreactors along with the newest molecular techniques for examining these systems. In addition, the applications for treatment of waste and wastewaters are presented along with the latest knowledge on process control and regulation of anaerobic bioprocesses. Together these two volumes give an overview of a growing area, which previously has never been presented in such a comprehensive way.

Treatment of Biogas for Feeding High Temperature Fuel Cells by Maria Turco,Angelo Ausiello,Luca Micoli Pdf

This book reports on the most recent applications of processes with a particular focus on the source and the properties of biogas and on the characteristics of the fuel cells (FCs). It describes adsorbing materials of potential interest are reviewed and the preparation methods and treatments employed to improve the adsorption properties as well as the stability and regenerability. The characterization of the chemical and physical properties involved in these processes is examined in particular detail. The book also covers aspects that concern the development of the adsorption apparatus with particular attention on the target of low residual concentration and high selectivity.High temperature FCs, such as molten carbonates (MCFCs) or solid oxides (SOFCs), are efficient, with a low environmental impact, and they can use a wide variety of fuels, such as biogas. The presence of some poisonous compounds such as sulphides, halides, and siloxanes can react with electrode catalysts and electrolyte, leading to the degradation and short lifetime of the cell. The treatment of raw biogas to obtain a FC-compatible fuel is mainly based on adsorption processes on suitable materials.

Water for Energy and Fuel Production by Yatish T. Shah Pdf

Water, in all its forms, may be the key to an environmentally friendly energy economy. Water is free, there is plenty of it, plus it carries what is generally believed to be the best long-term source of green energy—hydrogen. Water for Energy and Fuel Production explores the many roles of water in the energy and fuel industry. The text not only discusses water’s use as a direct source of energy and fuel—such as hydrogen from water dissociation, methane from water-based clathrate molecules, hydroelectric dams, and hydrokinetic energy from tidal waves, off-shore undercurrents, and inland waterways—but also: Describes water’s benign application in the production of oil, gas, coal, uranium, biomass, and other raw fuels, and as an energy carrier in the form of hot water and steam Examines water’s role as a reactant, reaction medium, and catalyst—as well as steam’s role as a reactant—for the conversion of raw fuels to synthetic fuels Explains how supercritical water can be used to convert fossil- and bio-based feedstock to synthetic fuels in the presence and absence of a catalyst Employing illustrative case studies and commercial examples, Water for Energy and Fuel Production demonstrates the versatility of water as a provider of energy and fuel, conveying the message that as energy demand and environmental concerns grow, so should our vigilance in pursuing the role of water in the energy landscape.

Regenerative Medicine II by Ioannis V. Yannas Pdf

Organ regeneration, once unknown in adult mammals, is at the threshold of maturity as a clinical method for restoration of organ function in humans. Several laboratories around the world are engaged in the development of new tools such as stem cells and biologically active scaffolds. Others are taking fresh looks at well-known clinical problems of replacement of a large variety of organs: Bone, skin, the spinal cord, peripheral nerves, articular cartilage, the conjunctiva, heart valves and urologic organs. Still other investigators are working out the mechanistic pathways of regeneration and the theoretical implications of growing back organs in an adult. The time has come to present a collection of these efforts from leading practitioners in the field of organ regeneration.

Biotechnology for the Future by Jens Nielsen,Jens Høiriis Nielsen,Sabine Arnold Pdf

Ce livre historique peut contenir de nombreuses coquilles et du texte manquant. Les acheteurs peuvent generalement telecharger une copie gratuite scannee du livre original (sans les coquilles) aupres de l'editeur. Non reference. Non illustre. 1864 edition. Extrait: ...(2) Elle a ete reproduite avec plus ou moins d'etendue, apres Xenophon, par Ciceron (Des devoirs, i, 32; cf. Lettres familieres, v, 12), par Maxime de Tyr (discours IV"), par Philostrate (Vie d'Apollonius, v, 10; Vie des sophistes, preambule), par Themistius (discours III), par St Basile (De la lecture des auteurs paiens, ch. iv). Elle a ete imitee par Lucien (Sur un songe, ch. Vi-xvi), par Philon le juif (Des recompenses), par Silius Italicus (Les Puniques, chant xv). Beaucoup de peintres anciens en firent un sujet de tableau, comme nous l'apprend Philostrate. Xenophon l'avait-il lue dans le livre de Prodicus ou entendue repeter par Socrate? Peut-etre, mais on conjecturerait aussi bien "sans temerite qu'il l'entendit reciter par le sophiste lui-meme. Prisonnier des Thebains vers 395 avant J.C, Xenophon obtint sa liberte sous caution pour assister aux conferences que Prodicus donnait alors a Thebes meme. Douze ou quinze annees plus tot, Aristophane avait fait jouer sur le theatre d'Athenes sa comedie de Plutus; il la refondit et la fit jouer de nouveau en 390. C'est peut-etre dans l'intervalle entre ces deux dates qu'il introduisit dans l'action de sa piece une scene episodique, qui rappelle par quelques traits le debat de la Vertu et de la Volupte: on y voit une defense des merites de la Pauvrete allegues par ellememe. Fidele aux lois de son art, l'auteur comique ne cherche pas les effets d'une eloquence majestueuse, paree, solennelle;...
