Review Industrial Gases / Springer:

Industrial gases are inextricably woven into the fabric of modern manufacturing. From the primary extraction of raw materials,through their intermediate processing to manufacture metals, chemicals and ceramics, to the fabrication of sophisticated industrial, comsumer and food products, gases are use across the whole spectrum of industry. The isolation, manufature and supply of these gases is a major industry in itself; the 300 million tones of gas used each year generates sales in excess of $20 billion. In terms of tonnage, nitrogen has become the most used industrial gas, finding applications across the whole range of industry. It is still manufactured by liquifying and then distilling air, but as applications develop and demand increases, newer methods of isolation, such as pressure swing absorbtion and membrane seperation will become important. This new book introduces the main industrial gases and the gases industry, the discusses the main technologies for their isolation, seperation, manufacture and handling. There follows an overveiw of the main applications of industrial gases and a brief discussion of new production processes and applications. Chemists, chemical engineers, physisists and technologists involved in the research and development, production or utilisation of industrial gases will find this concise book an essential and accessable reference source. For advanced students of these disciplines, the book provides a fascinating overview of this important industry.

Review Handbook of Cryo-Preparation Methods for Electron Microscopy (Methods in Visualization) / CRC:

The last two decades have seen exponential growth in cryo-electron microscopy, resulting in exciting advances, new hypotheses, and a better understanding of the ultrastructure of living and inert matter. Using an accessible, step-by-step format, this handbook presents the most sophisticated methods used in research laboratories. It describes the basic principles of cryo-fixation, cryo-ultramicrotomy, embedding at low temperatures and freeze-fracture. The book also explores applications such as electron crystallography, 2D/3D structure analysis, cryo-electron tomography, and techniques for protein localization. Each chapter covers a specific method, including detailed protocols, summary tables, and hundreds of illustrations and diagrams to clarify the techniques.
