This advanced textbook covering the fundamentals and industry applications of process intensification (PI) discusses both the theoretical and conceptual basis of the discipline. Since interdisciplinarity is a key feature of PI, the material contained in the book reaches far beyond the classical area of chemical engineering. Developments in other relevant disciplines, such as chemistry, catalysis, energy technology, applied physics, electronics and materials science, are extensively described and discussed, while maintaining a chemical engineering perspective. Divided into three major parts, the first introduces the PI principles in detail and illustrates them using practical examples. The second part is entirely devoted to fundamental approaches of PI in four domains: spatial, thermodynamic, functional and temporal. The third and final part explores the methodology for applying fundamental PI approaches in practice. As well as detailing technologies, the book focuses on safety, energy and environmental issues, giving guidance on how to incorporate PI in plant design and operation -- safely, efficiently and effectively.
The role of carbon dioxide in our changing climate is now hard to ignore, and many countries are making pledges to reduce or eliminate their carbon output. Chemical valorisation of carbon dioxide, as an alternative to sequestration, is likely to play an important part in reaching these targets, and as such is one of the fastest developing areas of green chemistry and chemical reaction engineering. Providing a comprehensive panorama of recent advances in the methods and technologies for chemical valorisation of carbon dioxide, this book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in sustainability and green chemistry. Both the technological improvements in traditional processes and new methods and concepts are discussed, including various (renewable) electricity-based methods, as well as novel catalytic, photocatalytic and biocatalytic approaches.

This report presents the recommendations of the WHO Expert Committee responsible for updating the WHO Model Lists of Essential Medicines.. The goal of the meeting was to review and update the 18th WHO Model List of Essential Medicines (EML) and the 4th WHO Model List of Essential Medicines for Children (EMLc). In accordance with approved procedures, the Expert Committee evaluated the scientific evidence on the basis of the comparative effectiveness, safety and cost effectiveness of the medicines. Both lists went through major revisions this year, as the Committee considered 77 applications, including 29 treatment regimens for cancer, and innovative hepatitis C and tuberculosis (TB) medicines...
