Seeking Societal Symbiosis for the Sustainable Use of Materials
We live in a material world; one with a rising population dependent upon a base of natural resources that is already seriously depleted and declining rapidly. This book considers the societal use of materials, historically, in the less-than-optimal present and aspirationally as a central thread in addressing wider sustainable development challenges. It accounts for linked chemical, physical and socio-economic consequences right through value chains, from raw material extraction through manufacture and use and onwards to post-use.Author Mark Everard proposes that the four principal societal sectors - business, government, civil society organisations and knowledge-providers - though often currently often dissipating effort by working antagonistically, can optimally work symbiotically around co-created and consensual long-term sustainability goals to accelerate necessary progress. Practical examples of 'baby steps' towards constructive collaboration within and between societal sectors are recognised, and lessons are drawn for how they can shape more committed and intentional collaboration for sustainable development.Seeking Societal Symbiosis touches upon many aspects of science from chemistry, chemical engineering and material science, through to construction/built environment, sustainability, regulatory science, resources economics and social science. It will be valuable reading for industry managers and executives, the European Commission and MEPs, national regulators and legislators, university students and lecturers, and NGOs.

Application of Agro-waste for industrial waste water treatment
Adsorption is an effective and low cost universal technique for the removal of organics. Application of unmodified and acid modified fruit peel powder- - banana peel [BP], orange peel [OP], lemon peel [LP], mango peel [MP] powder and acid Modified banana peel [MBP], Modified orange peel [MOP], Modified lemon peel [MLP] and Modified mango peel [MMP] powder as an adsorbent for removal of organic contamination of sugar industry waste water is the heart of this book. Acid Modified Mango Peel Powder is most powerful adsorbent among all 8 adsorbents. The comparison of unmodified and acid modified fruits peel lead us to the conclusion that acid modified fruits peels have good adsorption capacity than unmodified fruits peels. All 8 adsorbent follow Fruendlich and Langmuir Adsorption Isotherm for COD and BOD removal.
Solvent Extraction of Selenium(IV) & Tellurium(IV)
This book will be ideal for young researchers in the field of separation Science, because in this book our developed method gives an idea about separation and spectrophotometric determination of some metal ions found in nature. In order to separate these metal ions in purest form, the proposed solvent extraction method is very useful. The important features of the proposed method: (i) It permits selective separation and determination of Selenium(IV) and Tellurium(IV) from other associated metals such as, Au(III), Sn(IV), Ge(IV), Fe(III) and Pb(II), (ii) Low reagent concentration is required for quantitative recovery of Se and Te. (iii) The extraction occurs in a single stage.(iv) It is free from interference of a large number of foreign ions which are associated with Se(IV) & Te(IV) in its natural occurrence. The selectivity was enhanced by the use of suitable masking agents. (v) The probable stoichiometry of the extracted species calculated to be 1:1 (metal: thiol). The yellow colored complex is stable for more than 48 h. (vi) It is successfully applicable to the determination of Selenium(IV) and Tellurium(IV) in analysis of binary, synthetic mixtures and thin films.

Fundamental Aspects Of Organic Chemistry
It is a general and fundamental book for the students who are beginners in the field of organic chemistry. They require a smooth and coherent start in the journey of learning this field. In this book, general and basic aspects are covered which are required in understanding and learning of organic chemistry. Apart from this, the book also includes the study of fundamental organic molecules i.e. hydrocarbons which are classified chapter-wise as saturated hydrocarbons (alkanes & cycloalkanes), unsaturated hydrocarbons (alkenes & alkynes) and aromatic hydrocarbons (arenes).The first two units deal with the fundamental concepts which would develop interest in students towards organic chemistry and raise their level to comprehend deeper mechanistic aspects of organic reactions. The 3rd & 4th units cover the basic stereochemical aspects of organic chemistry. The 5th & 6th units deal with the study of aliphatic hydrocarbons. The last two units constitute the study of aromatic hydrocarbons. Efforts have been made to present the book in a simple language which is comprehensible to the undergraduate students with major or minor in chemistry.
Green Chemistry Applications in Pollution Mitigation
Green Chemistry Applications in Pollution Mitigation by Dr. Kamlesh Sharma provides a comprehensive knowledge of how green chemistry principles can be utilized to mitigate various forms of environmental pollution. The book begins with an introduction to green chemistry and its twelve foundational principles, which emphasize waste prevention, atom economy, and the use of safer solvents and renewable resources. Subsequent chapters delve into specific pollution types such as air, soil, noise, thermal, marine, and radioactive, and explore tailored green chemistry strategies for each. These include the development of cleaner combustion processes, bioremediation techniques, and the design of biodegradable materials. The final chapter discusses the industrial applications of green chemistry, highlighting its role in promoting sustainable practices and reducing environmental impact.

Rheological Characteristics of Human Saliva
The book titled "Rheological Characteristics of Human Saliva" is structured into four chapters. It examines how saliva behaves under mechanical forces, focusing on its flow and deformation properties. Saliva plays an essential role in mastication, swallowing, speech, and digestion, and its rheological behavior is key to these functions. As a pseudoplastic, non-Newtonian fluid, saliva becomes less viscous with increased shear rate. This allows it to flow more easily during activities like chewing or speaking, while remaining more viscous at rest to protect and hydrate the oral mucosa. Its viscosity varies depending on the type of salivary gland-parotid saliva is more watery, while submandibular and sublingual secretions are thicker and more mucinous. Stimulation reduces viscosity, and factors such as hydration, health, stress, and diet also influence its rheological properties.
Existence of Internal and External Valences in Chemical Clusters
The chemical clusters analyzed and categorized in this book demonstrate the fact that the driving force behind the chemical reactions is the desire for the nodal points of each chemical element in the cluster ATTAINS A NOBLE GAS CONFIGURATION. Just like a hydrogen ligand (H), a skeletal linkage to a nodal point in a cluster behaves as SINGLE ELECTRON DONOR. Regarding electron counting at a NODAL POINT, it has been found easier to consider electrons on the skeletal element as an INTERNAL VALENCY ( V1 ) AND THOSE DONATED BY SKELETAL LINKAGES AND LIGANDS AS EXTERNAL VALENCE (V2). The sum of V1+V2=8 FOR MAIN GROUP ELEMENTS, V1+V2=18 FOR TRANSITION ELEMENTS AND V1+V2=32 FOR LANTHANIDES/ACTINIDES. A wide range of examples to illustrate this concept for main group and transition elements are provided in this book.
