After an overview of the fundamentals, limitations, and scope of reactive distillation, this book uses rigorous models for steady-state design and dynamic analysis of different types of reactive distillation columns and quantitatively compares the economics of reactive distillation columns with conventional multi-unit processes. It goes beyond traditional steady-state design that primarily considers the capital investment and energy costs when analyzing the control structure and the dynamic robustness of disturbances, and discusses how to maximize the economic and environmental benefits of reactive distillation technology.

En esta época de intensa movilidad mujeres y hombres, objetos sonoros y melodías, se agitan incesantemente en un mundo contemporáneo productor de aquella entropía denunciada por Lévi- Strauss. Las diferentes prácticas cotidianas son trastocadas por la impronta de una modernidad sin límites, en cuyos espacios de tránsito se violan y reconfiguran los más elementales principios espirituales de la continuidad cultural, aquellos que procuran el sosiego de los hábitos y costumbres de nuestra sociedad. Sin embargo, en medio de este cúmulo entropizador de objetos y sujetos volátiles y migrantes, encontramos la música como uno de los artefactos culturales que, además, por su naturaleza ...
This book addresses a question that has been somewhat neglected in the many studies of the mercantile operations of the ‘merchant of Prato’, Francesco di Marco Datini, in the years around 1400: the operations of his firm in the Maghrib, a region in which he and his colleagues had to operate through agents, rather than by means of branches or sister companies based in the region. Thanks to the voluminous material of the Datini archive in Prato, it offers a reconstruction of commercial strategies through the study of networks, of economic actors, their identity and their practices, and of the link between trade and the State, especially the Florentine one.

La terza indagine di Evert Bäckström L'omicidio di un equivoco avvocato di Stoccolma, un'anziana signora accusata di maltrattamento di animali e un gentiluomo con un catalogo di Sotheby sottobraccio aggredito nei pressi della corte. Il tutto collegato da un traffico di icone russe e oggetti d'arte, tra cui spicca uno splendido carillon con le sembianze di Pinocchio realizzato da Fabergé per lo zar Aleksej. Un oggetto prezioso che, dopo molti anni e varie peripezie, finisce in Svezia, prima a casa dell'avvocato assassinato e poi nelle tasche di Evert Bäckström. Il commissario più sgradevole, maschilista, corrotto e prevenuto di tutta la polizia di Stoccolma, riuscirà malgrado tutto a risolvere un caso decisamente complicato.
