Inhaltsangabe

Gases in Agro-food Processes is the ultimate reference covering all applications of gases in agro-Food processes, from farm to fork. Divided into 11 sections, the book covers chemical and physical gas properties, gas monitoring, regulation, heat and mass transfers. Sections are dedicated to agriculture and food processing, wastewater treatment, safety applications and market trends. Users will find this to be a valuable resource for industrial scientists and researchers in technical centers who are developing agro-food products. In addition, the book is ideal for graduate students in agro-food science, chemistry and the biosciences.

Tin Oxide MaterialsSynthesis, Properties, and Applications

Edited by Marcelo Orlandi

Tin Oxide Materials is a thorough reference on this important materials system, reviewing its properties, synthesis, and modeling methods, and most relevant applications.

Not only does the book address the much investigated SnO_2, but also discusses its other stoichiometries such as SnO and the mixed valence Sn₃O₄, which have attracted much interest in recent years.

First, the most relevant structure, physical, and chemical properties of tin oxides are reviewed. Then the discussion is deepened by the inclusion of the theoretical models and simulation methods needed to have a thorough understanding of tin oxide materials properties.

A range of synthesis methods including solid-state reaction, wet methods, and methods for obtaining thin films are reviewed. The relationship between the synthesis method and the desired morphology is correlated in the book.

Finally, Tin Oxide Materials describes the most relevant applications in energy, electronics, and biomedical fields.

Key features

• Most complete resource available on tin oxide materials systems in-depth discussion of its properties, synthesis and modeling methods, and its relevant applications
• Not only presents information on the well-investigated SnO_2, but also includes discussion of its emerging stoichiometries, such as SnO and Sn₃O₄
• Includes most relevant applications in varistors, sensing devices, fuel cells, transistors, biological studies, and much more
