商品描述
This book explores all aspects relevant to biomass burning in Sub-Saharan Africa, with special focus on chemistry aspects. Biomass burning implies emission of combustion products into the air (including greenhouse gases) and the waste/loss of biomass that could be utilized as valuable material resource. The extent of biomass burning in Sub-Saharan Africa, and the complexity of the aspects involved, constitutes an important motivation to view it as a problem deserving priority.
Chemical Issues in Biomass Burning in Sub-Saharan Africa is aimed at undergraduates, graduates, and policy makers working in Chemistry, Environmental Science, and Science Education.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書探討了與撒哈拉以南非洲生物質燃燒相關的各個方面,特別關注化學方面。生物質燃燒意味著將燃燒產物(包括溫室氣體)排放到空氣中,以及可作為有價值材料資源的生物質的浪費/損失。撒哈拉以南非洲的生物質燃燒範圍及其涉及的複雜性,構成了將其視為一個值得優先處理的問題的重要動機。
撒哈拉以南非洲生物質燃燒中的化學問題 旨在針對在化學、環境科學和科學教育領域工作的本科生、研究生和政策制定者。
作者簡介
Liliana Mammino is a professor emeritus in the Department of Chemistry of the University of Venda (South Africa), where she has being working since September 1997, teaching undergraduate and postgraduate physical chemistry courses, the first year general chemistry course (until 2013) and the process technology course. Her previous work experience include the National University of Somalia (1974 and 1975), the University of Zambia (1988-1992) and the National University of Lesotho (1993-1996). She holds a degree in chemistry from the University of Pisa (Italy, her home country) and a Ph.D. in chemistry from Moscow State University (Russia). Her research interests comprise theoretical chemistry (her field of specialisation), with particular attention to the computational study of biologically active molecules, and chemistry education, with particular attention to conceptual understanding and the role of language, and to the education for sustainable development. She has published extensively in both areas. She has being chairperson of international conferences, including the Fifth International IUPAC Conference on Green Chemistry (Durban, 2014) the Second African Conference on Research in Chemistry Education (Thohoyandou, 2015) and the XXIII International Workshop on Quantum Systems in Chemistry, Physics and Biology, which will be held in the Kruger National Park in September 2018. She is an associate member of Division III of IUPAC and a member of the Committee on Chemistry Education of IUPAC. She is also a lifetime member of the World Association of Theoretical and Computational Chemists (WATOC). In 2013, she was one of the recipients of the IUPAC Award for Distinguished Women in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. In 2016 she received the ALASA (African Languages Association of Southern Africa) award for sociolinguistics.
