Surface and Colloid Chemistry: Principles and Applications de K. S. Birdi

Surface and Colloid Chemistry: Principles and Applications

Autor K. S. Birdi
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 apr 2020
Surface and colloid chemistry principles impact many aspects of our daily lives, ranging from the cleaners and cosmetics we use to combustion engines and cement. Exploring the range of this field of study, Surface and Colloid Chemistry provides a detailed analysis of its principles and applications and demonstrates how they relate to natural phenomena and industrial processes.
Surface and colloid chemistry at work in nature and industry:
  • rain drops
  • combustion engines
  • soap bubbles
  • foam
  • food products
  • air pollution
  • waste-water treatment
  • washing and cleaning
  • cosmetics
  • painting and printing
  • oil and gas production
  • oil spills
  • plastics and polymers
  • biology and pharmaceuticals
  • milk products
  • cement
  • adhesive
  • coal
The book begins with an introduction to surfaces and colloids. It describes basic considerations regarding liquids and capillarity, and examines the liquid-solid interface phenomena. It explores the physicochemical properties of surfactants, Langmuir-Blodgett films, adsorption on solid surfaces, and adsorption as it relates to cleaning processes. Then the author examines colloidal systems and thin liquid films before moving on to emulsion science and technology. The final chapter provides examples of applications in science and a range of industries.
Examples and Illustrations
Integrating real-world examples throughout the text, this volume stimulates readers to consider both fundamental theory and industrial applications. More than 100 figures elucidate the concepts described in the text. Sample questions and answers are provided where appropriate, along with detailed data and discussions. Pertinent references are offered to facilitate further study.

Descriere

Grounded in real applications, this volume provides an introduction to the fundamentals and applications of surface and colloid chemistry. Presenting an overview of liquid surfaces, the book also describes the liquid – solid interface phenomena, colloid chemistry systems, emulsion science aspects, and more complex issues. Data from real-world examples are provided to encourage comprehension of both fundamental theory and the ever-increasing industrial applications. To comprehend the material, readers need only a basic background in general chemistry or physics. Key sample questions and answers are included and references are provided for more advanced students and scientists from other fields.
