NEW BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT Norwich, N.Y. - William Andrew Publishing announces the publication of a unique new book on the methods of hydrothermal technique - "Handbook of Hydrothermal Technology: Technology for Crystal Growth and Materials Processing." This handbook provides a single source for understanding how aqueous solvents or mineralizers work under temperature and pressure to dissolve and recrystallize normally insoluble materials, and decompose or recycle waste material. The result is the most efficient method in crystal growth, materials processing and waste treatment. Quartz, zeolites, gemstones, perovskite type oxides, ferrites, carbon allotropes, complex coordinated compounds and many other products are now produced using hydrothermal technology. This handbook gives a comprehensive overview of the subject, and a detailed description of all the major methods of hydrothermal technique in use today. While the book covers theory, it is aimed at practical applications in the lab and in industry. Key features of the book include: (1) A look at the evolution of the technology from geology to a technology with widespread industrial use today. (2) Descriptions of the equipment used (autoclave) and how it works. (3) A look at the problems involved with the growth of crystals, processing technological materials, and environmental and safety issues. (4) An analysis of where today's technology is heading. "Hydrothermal Technology" is written by two experts - Dr. K. Byrappa and Dr. Masahiro Yoshimura. Dr. Byrappa is a professor at the University of Mysore in India, specializing in hydrothermal techniques, crystal growth and materials processing. He has published over 120 research articles, edited several books, and has worked in several international laboratories. Dr. Yoshimura is a professor at the Tokyo Institute of Technology where he is director of the Center for Materials Design, Materials and Structure Lab. Dr. Yoshimura is editor of a number of books and author of more than 500 research articles. Because hydrothermal technology is an interdisciplinary science, those who would be interested in this book include physicists, chemists, engineers, food scientists, organic chemists, materials scientists, earth scientists, environmental scientists, ceramists and those in industry involved with crystal growth and materials science.
