H2s

Hydrogen Sulfide is one of the deadliest, naturally occurring substances on the planet. Every day, thousands of oil field workers face potential exposure to this invisible killer. This book is packed with real life stories of H2S encounters in the oil field and tips on how you can avoid being the next oil field worker to fall victim to the deadly gas.

H2S in Plants: Past, Present and Beyond presents translational insights from animal to plant application. The recent discovery of several aspects of the function of H2S and its homeostasis in plant cells was propelled by discoveries in mammalian models. Based on the practical application of those analytical methods to plant science, this book will guide readers in the identification and qualification of this gasotransmitter in plant cell function. In addition, it explores important roles in complex signaling networks together with calcium cations, nitric oxide, hydrogen peroxide and plant hormones. Presenting detailed descriptions of analytical methodologies, this book will enable the reader to determine H2S presence and understand it’s potential in improving stress resistance and crop productivity. Presents the integrated role of H2S in plant cells Identifies methods for determining H2S in plants Establishes feasible strategies based on H2S to improve food production

August 1939 was a time of great flux. The fear of impending war fueled by the aggression of Nazi Germany forced many changes. Young people pursuing academic research were plunged into an entirely different kind of research and development. For Bernard Lovell, the war meant involvement in one of the most vital research projects of the war-radar.

This book provides extensive information on high-temperature H2S removal for integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) coarse gas, together with briefly introductions to the concept of clean coal technology, and to the mechanism and kinetics of hot coal gas desulfurizers. Readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of available control methods for high-temperature H2S removal in IGCC coarse gas and how the technology has been adopted by industry. As such, the book offers a unique resource for researchers and engineers in the fields of energy science and technology, environmental science and technology, and chemical engineering.
