Energy and water have been fundamental to powering the global economy and building modern society. This cross-disciplinary book provides an integrated assessment of the different scientific and policy tools around the energy-water nexus. It focuses on how water use, and wastewater and waste solids produced from fossil fuel energy production affect water quality and quantity. Summarizing cutting edge research, it describes the scientific methods for detecting contamination sources in the context of policy and regulations. The authors highlight the growing evidence that fossil fuel production, from both conventional and unconventional sources, leads to water quality degradation, while regulations for the water and energy sector remain fractured and highly variable across and within countries. This volume will be a key reference for scholars, industry professionals, environmental consultants and policy makers seeking information on the risks associated with the energy cycle and its impact

Biodiesel is a renewable, sustainable and environmentally friendly fuel that can be produced from a variety of sources, including marine microalgae and freshwater microalgae. Microalgae are photosynthetic organisms that can accumulate high amounts of lipids, which can be extracted and converted into biodiesel through a process called transesterification. Marine microalgae and freshwater microalgae have different characteristics that affect their potential for biodiesel production. Marine microalgae are typically more tolerant to high salinity and temperature, which makes them suitable for cultivation in seawater and in warm climates. Freshwater microalgae, on the other hand, can be cultivated in freshwater and have lower nutrient requirements, which makes them more suitable for use in regions with limited water resources. The production of biodiesel from microalgae involves several steps, including cultivation, harvesting, lipid extraction, and transesterification. The cultivation of m

Petroleum engineers search through endless sources to understand oil and gas chemicals, find problems and discover solutions while operations are becoming more unconventional and driving towards more sustainable practice. Oil and Gas Chemistry Management Series brings an all-inclusive suite of tools to cover all the sectors of oil and gas chemicals from drilling to production, processing, storage, and transportation. The fourth reference in the series, Surface Process, Transportation, and Storage delivers the critical chemical oilfield basics while also covering latest research developments and practical solutions. Organized by the type of mitigation and recovery method, the engineer can fully understand how to effectively control chemistry issues, make sound decisions, and mitigate the challenges ahead. Basics include gas treating, CO2 recovery, produced water treatment, while more advanced topics cover hydrotesting water conditioning and black powder management. Supported by a list o

This book presents the first full length study in English of monumental bronzes in the Middle Ages. Taking as its point of departure the common medieval reception of bronze sculpture as living or animated, the study closely analyzes the practice of lost wax casting (cire perdue) in western Europe and explores the cultural responses to large scale bronzes in the Middle Ages. Starting with mining, smelting, and the production of alloys, and ending with automata, water clocks and fountains, the book uncovers networks of meaning around which bronze sculptures were produced and consumed. The book is a path-breaking contribution to the study of metalwork in the Middle Ages and to the re-evaluation of medieval art more broadly, presenting an understudied body of work to reconsider what the materials and techniques embodied in public monuments meant to the medieval spectator.

Estuaries are of high socioeconomic importance with twenty-two of the thirty-two largest cities in the world located on river estuaries. Estuaries bring together fluxes of fresh and saline water, as well as fluvial and marine sediments, and contain high biological diversity. Increasingly sophisticated field observation technology and numerical modeling have produced significant advances in our understanding of the physical properties of estuaries over the last decade. This book introduces a classification for estuaries before presenting the basic physics and hydrodynamics of estuarine circulation and the various factors that modify it in time and space. It then covers special topics at the forefront of research such as turbulence, fronts in estuaries and continental shelves, low inflow estuaries, and implications of estuarine transport for water quality. Written by leading authorities on estuarine and lagoon hydrodynamics, this volume provides a concise foundation for academic research
