However the majority are synthesised from petroleum, so over the past decade the detergent industry has turned its attention to developing greener routes to create these surfactants via renewable building blocks.  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSurfactants from Renewable Resources\u003c\/i\u003e presents the latest research and commercial applications in the emerging field of sustainable surfactant chemistry, with emphasis on production technology, surface chemical properties, biodegradability, ecotoxicity, market trends, economic viability and life-cycle analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReviewing traditional sources for renewable surfactants as well as recent advances, this text focuses on techniques with potential for large scale application.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTopics covered include:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eRenewable hydrophobes from natural fatty acids and forest industry by-products\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRenewable hydrophiles from carbohydrates, amino acids and lactic acid\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNew ways of making renewable building blocks; ethylene from renewable resources and complex mixtures from waste biomass\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBiosurfactants\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSurface active polymers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e This book is a valuable resource for industrial researchers in companies that produce and use surfactants, as well as academic researchers in surface and polymer chemistry, sustainable chemistry and chemical engineering.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr Mikael Kjellin\u003c\/strong\u003e is based at the Institute for Surface Chemistry, Stockholm, Sweden, which works with many industrial branches including pharmaceuticals, personal care products, biotech, food, industrial chemicals, household products, engineering and materials industries, pulp and paper, coatings, adhesives, paints, and printing.\u003cbr\u003eIn addition, Dr Kjellin is the coordinator of the research centre SNAP, which aims to build from an industrial need, long-term knowledge and experience relating to new environmentally safe surfactants derived entirely or partly from natural products. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngegard.Johansson\u003c\/strong\u003e is a research scientists based at Akzo Nobel Surfactants Europe in Sweden. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15 March 2010\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780470760413\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e352\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44384737329292,"sku":"9780470760413","price":172.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780470760413_5078d9db-e396-4b59-b5c2-9af2d1767ac0.jpg?v=1780185398","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780470760413","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
