Full Description
This fully updated new edition of Hydrocarbons, Oils, and Lipids explores the structural characteristics and properties of major hydrocarbons and lipids. It also provides a comprehensive overview of their analytical characterization in biological and environmental contexts.
Hydrocarbons and lipids comprise extremely diverse organic compounds essential to both the biosphere and geosphere. They serve as key functional components in all living organisms and make up a significant portion of fossil organic matter in sedimentary systems.
Key topics include the occurrence, biosynthesis, and biological functions of these compounds across a wide range of organisms, from bacteria and archaea to algae, higher plants, and arthropods. The book also examines their distribution in the geosphere and the fundamental processes governing the fate of fossil organic matter. Additionally, it covers critical aspects of environmental chemistry and the movement of these compounds between different biosphere and geosphere compartments.
The handbook is structured into four parts:
Part I: Structures and Properties of Hydrocarbons and Lipids
Part II: Hydrocarbons and Lipids in the Biosphere
Part III: Hydrocarbons and Lipids in the Geosphere
Part IV: Hydrocarbons and Lipids in the Environment
This is an essential reference for any laboratory engaged in research on hydrocarbons and lipids.
