Summary

"Environmental concern is becoming more and more prevalent in the energy field. Whether it is the elimination of waste from a chemical spill, water pollution or ecological destruction, the removal of pollutants is an increasingly upfront engineering priority. However, there has never been a reference published to keep up with this quickly growing sector. To explain the fundamental properties of environmental engineering, acclaimed professor and author Carl L. Yaws delivers a comprehensive volume titled The Yaws Handbook of Properties for Environmental and Green Engineering. This extensive technical book contains all the basic environmental and green properties of hydrocarbons and chemicals that are advantageous in design, operations, research, development, manufacturing and safety for the petroleum, chemical and environmental engineer."--Jacket.
