This book describes the design, synthesis, characterization and applications of porous organic frameworks (POFs). It also includes two chapters introducing the properties of POFs and defining the principles of synthesis, as well as a chapter dealing with post-modified POFs.

The first chapter of this brief describes the importance of the selective oxidation of alcohols and advantages of heterogeneous catalysts over conventional catalysts, use of environmentally benign oxidants, and the design of selective catalysts by tailoring of polyoxometalates at the molecular level.

This book covers the microwave-assisted synthesis of aromatic heterocycles and their application aspects. It details the five-membered heterocycles as well as various six-membered heterocycles. Coverage includes a variety of examples from recent literature.

The effective removal of dyes from aqueous waste is an important issue for many industrialized countries.

Biofortification, on the other hand, is an agricultural process that increases the uptake and accumulation of mineral nutrients in agricultural products through plant breeding, genetic engineering, or manipulation of agricultural practices.

Nowadays, chirality is widely accepted as an important factor in molecular recognition processes and the biological activity of many pharmaceutical drugs and agrochemicals;

Hundreds of tonnes of biologically active contaminants from pharmaceutical and personal care products enter the environment each year, unaffected by water treatment processes. This book assesses emerging green techniques of removing them from the water cycle.

As a new and rapidly growing science, the applications of ultrasound methods in environmental technology hold a promising future.

This book examines five methods used for concentrate management, namely; While these methods are widely practiced in a variety of settings already, there are many limitations that restrict the use of certain disposal options in particular locations.

The enzymatic polymerization of phenolic compounds has been generating interest in several fields such as food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. In this title, these compounds are employed for their antioxidant properties; however, their use is limited by their low solubility and thermal stability.
