This textbook provides an integral and integrated treatment of
industrial-relevant problems for students of both chemistry and
chemical engineering.
As such, this work combines the four disciplines of chemical
technology - chemistry, thermal and mechanical unit operations,
chemical reaction engineering and general chemical technology - and
is organized into two main parts. The first covers the
fundamentals, as well as the analysis and design of industrial
processes, while the second section presents 20 concrete processes,
exemplifying the inherent applied nature of chemical technology.
These are selected so that they all differ with respect to at least
one important aspect, such as the type and design of the reactor,
the chemistry involved or the separation process used. As a result,
readers will recapitulate, deepen and exercise the chemical and
engineering principles and their interplay, as well as being able
to apply them to industrial practice.
Instructive figures, rules of thumb for swift but reliable
estimating of parameters, data of chemical media, and examples
utilizing data from industrial processes facilitate and enhance the
study process. A small general survey of selected modern trends,
such as multifunctional and micro reactors, or new solvents for
homogeneous catalysis, such as ionic liquids, point out to the
reader that this is not a concluded discipline, but a developing
field with many challenges waiting to be solved.From the reviews:
""This is an excellent book. The authors have set themselves a
daunting task: combining in one volume the basics of industrial
chemistry, physical chemistry, catalysis, and chemical engineering.
The result is a highly readable and useful textbook that covers all
the fundamental aspects of technical chemistry and fits well with
today's curricula... There are several other good textbooks that
target one or more of the specific subjects..., but this is the
first well written and clearly presented comprehensive textbook on
modern chemical technology. In summary, this book is timely,
useful, well thought out and well presented. It contains lots of
useful knowledge. I highly recommend it to teachers of chemical
technology, to senior undergraduates and graduate students in
chemistry who are interested in the industrial aspects of their
profession, and of course to chemical engineers."" -Angewandte
