NEW BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT
Norwich, N.Y. - William Andrew Publishing announces the
publication of a unique new book on the methods of hydrothermal
technique - "Handbook of Hydrothermal Technology: Technology for
Crystal Growth and Materials Processing." This handbook provides
a single source for understanding how aqueous solvents or
mineralizers work under temperature and pressure to dissolve and
recrystallize normally insoluble materials, and decompose or
recycle waste material. The result is the most efficient method
in crystal growth, materials processing and waste treatment.
Quartz, zeolites, gemstones, perovskite type oxides, ferrites,
carbon allotropes, complex coordinated compounds and many other
products are now produced using hydrothermal technology. This
handbook gives a comprehensive overview of the subject, and a
detailed description of all the major methods of hydrothermal
technique in use today. While the book covers theory, it is
aimed at practical applications in the lab and in industry.
Key features of the book include: (1) A look at the evolution of
the technology from geology to a technology with widespread
industrial use today. (2) Descriptions of the equipment used
(autoclave) and how it works. (3) A look at the problems
involved with the growth of crystals, processing technological
materials, and environmental and safety issues. (4) An analysis
of where today's technology is heading.
"Hydrothermal Technology" is written by two experts - Dr. K.
Byrappa and Dr. Masahiro Yoshimura. Dr. Byrappa is a professor
at the University of Mysore in India, specializing in
hydrothermal techniques, crystal growth and materials
processing. He has published over 120 research articles, edited
several books, and has worked in several international
laboratories. Dr. Yoshimura is a professor at the Tokyo
Institute of Technology where he is director of the Center for
Materials Design, Materials and Structure Lab. Dr. Yoshimura is
editor of a number of books and author of more than 500 research
articles.
Because hydrothermal technology is an interdisciplinary science,
those who would be interested in this book include physicists,
chemists, engineers, food scientists, organic chemists,
materials scientists, earth scientists, environmental
scientists, ceramists and those in industry involved with
crystal growth and materials science.
