This book provides a comprehensive introduction to chemical process engineering, linking the fundamental theory and concepts to the industrial practice. This 2nd Edition contains new chapters on biological wastewater treatment, dynamic simulation, and PID discussion. It enables the reader to integrate fundamental knowledge of the basic disciplines, to understand key chemical processes, and to apply this knowledge to the practice in industry.
This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to chemical process engineering, linking the fundamental theory and concepts to the industrial day-to-day practice. It bridges the gap between chemical sciences and the pratical chemical industry. It enables the reader to integrate fundamental knowledge of the basic disciplines, to understand the most important chemical processes, and to apply this knowledge to the practice in the industry.
"Reading the book, you can feel the long practical experience of the author. The text is easy to read, even where concepts can be complex. The strong theoretical background of the author is well known from other publications. In this book, however, the topics are presented on a level that every engineer and scientist in the chemical industry and process industry should know and can understand... This book would have been very helpful at the beginning of my career to close the addressed gap. Therefore, I can strongly recommend it not only to all students close to their degree, but also to engineers and scientists just starting their industrial career in the related industrial sectors that are...
Healthcare facilities, medical laboratories and biomedical research facilities generate large amounts of biomedical waste. Poor management of the waste can cause serious health and environmental hazards. This book aims to cover the latest technologies and innovations for sustainable management. It covers bioremediation processes, plastic waste recycling, and metal recovery. It also discusses waste monetization, such as conversion into energy.
This book focuses on the importance of human factors in optimizing the learning and training process. It reports on the latest research and best practices and discusses key principles of behavioral and cognitive science, which are extremely relevant to the design of instructional content and new technologies to support mobile and multimedia learning, virtual training and web-based learning, among others, as well as performance measurements, social and adaptive learning and many other types of educational technologies, with a special emphasis on those important in the corporate, higher education, and military training contexts. Based on the AHFE 2017 Conference on Human Factors in Training, Education, and Learning Sciences, held July 17–21, 2017 in Los Angeles, California, the book offers a timely perspective on the role of human factors in education. It highlights important new ideas and will foster new discussions on how to optimally design learning experiences.
Common scale-up methods are conventional where the blind piloting is essential. This imposes huge investment and leads to failures mostly in solid processing. However, the limitations of resources, current shortcomings, short time-to-market demand are forced companies to minimize piloting. With these situations in mind, current digitalization outlook and computational facilities, we proposed and developed a novel iterative scale up method with case studies which highly expedites the process innovation through the following key sequences:
This textbook is a concise introduction to heterogeneous catalysis, focusing on the fundamentals and industrial implementation. It is written in a clear manner using language that is easily accessible to undergraduate students in chemical engineering and industrial chemistry. The textbook includes exercise problems and practice software. New in this edition are sections on catalyst preparation and manufacture, kinetic parameter estimation, and catalytic transport-line reactors. Solutions to all the example problems are now provided.
A fresh new treatment written by industry insiders, this work gives readers a remarkably clear view into the world of chemical separation. The authors review distillation, extraction, adsorption, crystallization, and the use of membranes – providing historical perspective, explaining key features, and offering insights from personal experience. The book is for engineers and chemists with current or future responsibility for chemical separation on a commercial scale – in its design, operation, or improvement – or for anyone wanting to learn more about chemical separation from an industrial point of view. The result is a compelling survey of popular technologies and the profession, one that brings the art and craft of chemical separation to life. Ever wonder how popular separation technologies came about, how a particular process functions, or how mass transfer units differ from theoretical stages? Or perhaps you want some pointers on how to begin solving a separation problem. You will find clear explanations and valuable insights into these and other aspects of industrial practice in this refreshing new survey.
The only textbook that applies thermodynamics to real-world process engineering problems This must-read for advanced students and professionals alike is the first book to demonstrate how chemical thermodynamics work in the real world by applying them to actual engineering examples. It also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the particular models and procedures, and explains the most important models that are applied in process industry. All the topics are illustrated with examples that are closely related to practical process simulation problems. At the end of each chapter, additional calculation examples are given to enable readers to extend their comprehension. Chemical Thermody...
