Photobiogeochemistry of Organic Matter Principles and Practices in W
Photoinduced processes, caused by natural sunlight, are key functions for sustaining all living organisms through production and transformation of organic matter (OM) in the biosphere. Production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) from OM is a primary step of ph

Dr. Khan M. G. Mostofa Photochemist and Geochemist, is a Research Scientist at the State Key Laboratory of Environmental Geochemistry, Institute of Geochemistry, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, PR China. He received double MS degree (Chemistry, Jahangirnagar University, Dhaka, Bangladesh in 1992 and Biogeochemistry, Institute for Hydrospheric-Atmospheric Sciences (IHAS), Nagoya University, Japan in 2001) and Ph.D degree from Hiroshima University, Japan, in 2005 in the field of Environmental Dynamics and Management. Dr. Mostofa then joined as a postdoctoral fellow the Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China, 2006–2008. He has then been appointed as Associate Professor in the same Institute on 2008 and presently holds that position. Dr. Mostofa also worked as key researcher on several international projects, particularly on the Montreal Protocol Project entitled ‘Institutional strengthening for the Phase out of ODSs in Bangladesh’, 1996–1999, Bangladesh and the global “International Geosphere-Biosphere Program (IGBP)” project, 1999– 2001, Japan. Currently, Dr. Mostofa served as reviewer for several international peer-reviewed Journals. His key researches are mostly focused on the photobio-geochemistry of organic matter and nutrients, characterization and identification of organic substances of both allochthonous and autochthonous origins, complexation of OM with trace metal ions, photosynthesis and global warming. Approximately three years were needed to complete the primary drafts of the manuscripts for the ten chapters in this book.

Editors Biography
Davide Vione Received his summa cum laude Laurea degree in Chemistry at the University of Torino (Italy) in 1998, and the Ph.D. in Chemistry in 2001. In 2002–2011 he has been University Lecturer in Torino, and he was appointed Associate Professor in 2011. His research interests focus on environmental photochemistry, particularly the sunlight-driven processes that involve transient species in surface and atmospheric waters, and on Advanced Oxidation Processes for water and wastewater decontamination. In June 2012 the ISI database reported 107 entries under his name, with 1,499 citations and h index 22 (for Scopus: 110 entries, 1,549 citations, h index 22). In 2003 Dr. Vione was presented the Young Researcher’s award from the Analytical Chemistry division of the Italian Chemical Society (SCI) and the “European Young Researcher of the Year” award by the European Association of Chemistry and the Environment (ACE). He is Editorial Board Member of the E-Journal of Chemistry, and reviews around 30 articles per year for several environmental chemistry journals. Dr. Vione has contributed some chapters as a co-author as well as an editor of this book.
