Description
Distillation: Fundamentals and Principles — winner of the 2015 PROSE Award in Chemistry & Physics — is a single source of authoritative information on all aspects of the theory and practice of modern distillation, suitable for advanced students and professionals working in a laboratory, industrial plants, or a managerial capacity. It addresses the most important and current research on industrial distillation, including all steps in process design (feasibility study, modeling, and experimental validation), together with operation and control aspects. This volume features an extra focus on the conceptual design of distillation.- Winner of the 2015 PROSE Award in Chemistry & Physics from the Association of American Publishers- Practical information on the newest development written by recognized experts- Coverage of a huge range of laboratory and industrial distillation approaches- Extensive references for each chapter facilitates further study
