Advances in Chemistry Research Volume 10

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 the chemical bonding of hydrides; transport properties and their impact on biological systems; process analysis for gas-solid fluidization; recovery of niobium as a by-product from effluent solutions; zirconia and alumina supports for nickel-based catalysts for hydrogen production; and, the deuterium effect on the photosensitised biomolecules damage via singlet oxygen generation.
