This book authoritatively discusses all aspects of selenium. It covers the history and occurrence of the element, extraction and purification
methods, physical and chemical properties, biochemical and agricultural aspects, and toxicology and analytical chemistry. Also discussed are applications of selenium in the glass, rubber, plastics and metallurgical industries, and its role in electrophotography. Chemists, physicists, solid-state chemists and those interested in solar energy conversion will welcome the coverage of the structure of selenium compounds, the interaction of the element with light, and the optical and electrical
properties of the solid. Others who will benefit are geologists, engineers, biochemists, toxicologists, and agricultural scientists. |
