This new book presents original research results on the leading edge of chemistry research. Each article has been carefully selected in an attempt to present substantial research results across a broad spectrum. Topics discussed include integrated upgrading of energy agro-crops for production of dissolving grade eco-clean cellulose fibers; effective medium simmons (EMS) model for accounting of multibarrier tunneling in single molecular nanodevice; methods for converting nitro aryls to secondary aryl amines in one-pot; effect of Na OH coatings on the 330Cb alloy oxidation at 900 A(deg)C; evaluation of a novel natural adsorbent for heavy metal removal and its comparison to banana peel; structural diversity, surface composition, and redox behavior in the La0.6Sr0.4Co O3 – Pr O2- system; improvement of x-ray fluorescence and x-ray radiometric methods of rare heavy metals’ diagnostics in soils; difference in deformation characteristics by forming into the agglomerates in KCl:Sr2+ single crystals; the electrolytic dissociation of alkyl and aryl derivatives of glutaric acid; and thermodynamic consistency tests for experimental data of salt deposition in saline water
