With a focus on actual industrial processes, e.g.
the production of light alkenes, synthesis gas, fine
chemicals, polyethene, it encourages the reader to think
“out of the box” and invent and develop novel unit
operations and processes. Reflecting today’s emphasis on
sustainability, this edition contains new coverage of
biomass as an alternative to fossil fuels, and process
intensification. The second edition includes: New
chapters on Process Intensification and Processes for
the Conversion of Biomass Updated and expanded chapters
throughout with 35% new material overall Text boxes
containing case studies and examples from various
different industries, e.g. synthesis loop designs, Sasol
I Plant, Kaminsky catalysts, production of Ibuprofen,
click chemistry, ammonia synthesis, fluid catalytic
cracking Questions throughout to stimulate debate and
keep students awake! Richly illustrated chapters with
improved figures and flow diagrams Chemical Process
Technology, Second Edition is a comprehensive
introduction, linking the fundamental theory and
concepts to the applied nature of the subject. It will
be invaluable to students of chemical engineering,
biotechnology and industrial chemistry, as well as
practising chemical engineers. From reviews of
the first edition: “The authors have blended process
technology, chemistry and thermodynamics in an elegant
manner… Overall this is a welcome addition to books on
chemical technology.” – The Chemist “Impressively
wide–ranging and comprehensive… an excellent textbook
for students, with a combination of fundamental
knowledge and technology.” – Chemistry in Britain (now
Chemistry World)
