Chemistry for Agriculture Engineers

Bol

This book offers a concise foundation in applied chemistry, starting with electrochemistry, covering redox reactions, electrolytic and galvanic cells, Daniell cell, electrodes, reference electrodes, electrochemical series, Nernst equation, pH measurement, titrations, and lithium cells. Food and soil chemistry discusses carbohydrates, proteins, fats, oils, fractional crystallization, soil composition, problem soils, and nitrogen fixation. Water chemistry and waste management include hardness, softening, reverse osmosis, disinfection, oxygen demand, and sewage treatment. Spectroscopic and instrumental methods present Beer-Lambert's law, UV-visible spectroscopy, thermal analysis, and chromatography. Fuels and corrosion cover calorific values, petrol, diesel, biodiesel, natural gas, combustion quality, and corrosion control by galvanic series and cathodic protection. The text integrates theory with practical engineering applications.
