Paisner Praise for Beyond Electrolysis Basics This is the quintessential book for electrologist practitioners and students that so clearly describes the foundations and safety for hair removal processes. The concepts contained with Beyond Electrolysis Basics are based on scientific methods that are sound in their day-to-day applications. This is a definite recommended read for not only electrologists, but for the health care community at large. -Dr. Patric Schine, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC Medical Director / Family Nurse Practitioner, Schine Health, PLLC To use the cliché "we've come a long way, baby" might be an understatement as we have actually come from a Civil War physician removing distorted eyelashes via galvanic current to speedy thermolysis with many additional nuances a century-and-a-half later. This new book will provide the profession with the most up-to-date scientific approach to ALL the modalities that provide permanent hair removal and hair reduction. The authors are well-versed in their topics and well-respected in the profession. -Barbara Greathouse, LE, CPE Owner, Barbara's Electrology and European Facials Beyond Electrolysis Basics transcends the fundamentals, shedding light on the evolving landscape of hair removal, the first of its kind to delve into medically necessary hair removal for people seeking gender affirming care and recognizing the uniqueness of melanated skin. This invaluable resource equips electrologists, both seasoned and new, to provide comprehensive care that treats the whole person, making it an essential guide for the modern practitioner. -Patricio Battani, MPH, CCE Founder, Hawaii Institute of Electrolysis and HI SIS Beyond Electrolysis provides an essential resource to everyone in the electrolysis industry. It includes thoughtful input on new topics as well as valuable insights about the tools and techniques used daily by industry professionals. Born out of a 2019 conversation over coffee in a New York City café, Sara Paisner has produced a comprehensive manual that addresses the many changes happening in the world of electrolysis. You'll enjoy reading about each of the topics covered in this book, but you'll also want to keep this book on your clinic desktop as a reference volume. -Elizabeth Asch CEO/Owner, Ballet Technologies, LLC To learn more, visit www.

In this masterpiece, the renowned chemistry Nobel Laureate, George A. Olah and his colleagues discuss in a clear and readily accessible manner the use of methanol as a viable alternative to our diminishing fossil fuel resources. They look at the pros and cons of our current main energy sources, namely oil and natural gas, and varied renewable energies, and new ways to overcome obstacles. Following an introduction, Olah, Goeppert and Prakash look at the interrelation of fuels and energy, and at the extent of our non-renewable fossil fuel resources. Despite the diminishing reserve and global warming, the authors point out the continuing need for hydrocarbons and their products. They also discuss the envisioned hydrogen economy and its significant shortcomings. The main section then focuses on the methanol economy, including the conversion carbon dioxide from industrial exhausts (such as flue gases from fossil fuel burning power plants) and carbon dioxide contained in the atmoshere into convenient liquid methanol for fuel uses (notably in fuel cells) and as a raw material for hydrocarbons. The book is rounded off with a glimpse into the future. A forward-looking and inspiring work regarding the major challenges of future energy and environmental problems.
Updating content from the author’s 2001 book Coal Desulfurization, this new title focuses on CO2 sequestration and utilization. It includes information on the theory and practical approaches to CO2 capture and recent advances in the use of sequestered CO2. Avoiding these pollutants requires either forgetting about the 250 billion tons of coal reserves the United States possesses or capturing and utilizing the pollutants in a profitable and environmentally responsible fashion. The book covers postcombustion and precombustion capture approaches for coal, and postcombustion capture can be generalized to many other fuels. Recent practical implementations at full-scale power facilities around the world are discussed. The book covers sequestering CO2 via underground, oceanic, biological, and other long-term CO2 storage methods. It also includes recent advances in utilizing CO2 for enhanced oil recovery, advances in storage with depleted oil and gas reservoirs and deep saline aquifers, and additional topics. The book also examines specific applications of pure CO2 and covers chemical conversion of CO2 to useful compounds. It answers questions like "Can we create methanol from coal?" or "Can we create ethanol from coal?" It is found that methanol and ethanol cannot be sustainably produced from coal power alone. However, oxalic acid can be created at a much lower energy cost than methanol or ethanol. Oxalic acid can be used to extract rare earths, which are not currently produced anywhere in the United States, but are typically concentrated in coal ash. Aimed at researchers and industry professionals in chemical, environmental, and energy engineering, this book provides insight and inspiration into capturing CO2 not merely as a response to regulatory pressure and climate change but as an inherently profitable and valuable venture.
