Advances in Chemistry Research

This book presents original research results on the leading edge of chemistry research. Each article has been carefully selected in an attempt to present substantial research results across a broad spectrum. Topics discussed include quantum chemical research of the electronic structure and reactivity of nitric acid; furan chemistry and structure application; polyethylene glycol in metal-mediated catalysis; water chemistry research; membrane and membrane reactor technologies for COx purification of gaseous streams; docking of antischistosomal natural products with relevant protein targets; biosynthesis of propionic acid by anaerobic processes; and the analysis of bamboo-carbonized liquid.
