Product Description
Irving Langmuirwas an American chemist and physicist. His most noted publication was the famous 1919 article "The Arrangement of Electrons in Atoms and Molecules" in which, building on Gilbert N. Lewis's cubical atom theory and Walther Kossel's chemical bonding theory, he outlined his "concentric theory of atomic structure. Langmuir became embroiled in a priority dispute with Lewis over this work; Langmuir's presentation skills were largely responsible for the popularization of the theory, although the credit for the theory itself belongs mostly to Lewis.While at General Electric, from 1909-1950, Langmuir advanced several basic fields of physics and chemistry, invented the gas-filled incandescent lamp, the hydrogen welding technique, and was awarded the 1932 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work in surface chemistry. He was the first industrial chemist to become a Nobel laureate. The Langmuir Laboratory for Atmospheric Research near Socorro, New Mexico was named in his honor as was the American Chemical Society journal for Surface Science, called Langmuir. ... Read more

Excerpt: Otto Hahn (8 March 1879 28 July 1968) was a German chemist and Nobel laureate who pioneered the fields of radioactivity and radiochemistry. He is regarded as "the father of nuclear chemistry" and the "founder of the atomic age". Hahn served as the last President of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society (KWG) in 1946 and as the founding President of the Max Planck Society (MPG) from 1948 to 1960. Hahn was the youngest son of Heinrich Hahn (18451922), a prosperous glazier and entrepreneur ("Glasbau Hahn"), and Charlotte Hahn, née Giese (18451905). Together with his brothers Karl, Heiner and Julius, Otto was raised in a sheltered environment. At the age of 15, he began to take a special interest in chemistry and carried out simple experiments in the laundry room of the family home. His father wanted Otto to study architecture, as he had built or acquired several residential and business properties. But Otto persuaded him that his ambition was to become an industrial chemist.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Dr. William Albert Zisman (1905-1986)[1][2] was born in Albany, NY and spent his youth in Providence, RI up to the age of 14 when his family moved to Washington, DC. He earned his BS and MS degrees in physics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He began his career working as a research assistant to Nobel Prize winner P. W. Bridgman at Harvard University. He earned his PhD while at Harvard in 1932 and continued on as a post-doc studying high pressure problems relating to the Earth's core. During this point in his career he began to follow in the footsteps of Langmuir, Rideal, and Harkins.[3] Research funds were limited during the Great Depression and so Zisman returned to Washington, DC and held various administrative jobs for government agencies that were born during the New Deal era. ...

Product Description
Adsorption is the accumulation of atoms or molecules on the surface of a material. This process creates a film of the adsorbate (the molecules or atoms being accumulated) on the adsorbent's surface. It is different from absorption, in which a substance diffuses into a liquid or solid to form a solution. The term sorption encompasses both processes, while desorption is the reverse process of "adsorption". In simple terms, adsorption is "the collection of a substance onto the surface of adsorbent solids." It is a removal process where certain particles are bound to an adsorbent particle surface by either chemical or physical attraction. Adsorption is often confused with absorption, where the substance being collected or removed actually penetrates into the other substance. Adsorption is present in many natural physical, biological, and chemical systems, and is widely used in industrial applications such as activated charcoal, capturing and using waste heat to provide cold water for air conditioning and other process requirements (adsorption chillers),synthetic resins, and water purification. ...

Der Stammsitz, jahrzehntelang in Schenectady, New York, befindet sich seit 1974 in Fairfield, Connecticut, USA. Im Jahr 1890 vereinigte Thomas Alva Edison die meisten zur Verwertung seiner Erfindungen und Patente gegründeten Unternehmen unter dem Dach der Edison General Electric Company. 1892 wurde sie mit dem größten Konkurrenten, der Thomson-Houston Company von Elihu Thomson und Edwin James Houston, zur General Electric Company vereinigt, mit Stammsitz in Schenectady, New York. Chef von GE wurde Charles A. Coffin, der bis dahin Leiter von Thomson-Houston war. Er führte das neue Unternehmen die ersten 20 Jahre. GE war eines der zwölf Unternehmen, die im 1896 neu eingeführten Dow Jones Index gelistet wurden und das einzige der ersten zwölf, das sich bis heute in dem Index gehalten hat. 1909 präsentierte General Electric die nach ihrem Erfinder William David Coolidge benannte Coolidge Röntgen-Röhre. Ab 1927 strahlte die Sendestation von General Electric (GE WRGB) Fernsehbilder aus. Der Autopilot folgte...http://booksllc.net/?l=de&id=13823 ... Read more
