Bioprocess Technology by
The five-volume set of the Encyclopedia of Bioprocess Technology presents the applications and established theories in biotechnology-focusing on industrial applications of fermentation, biocatalysis and bioseparation. It is an essential resource for anyone working in industrial biotechnology, biochemistry, genetics and microbiology laboratories, pharmaceutical firms, regulatory agencies and chemical and environmental engineering companies.
Encyclopedia of Catalysis by
Catalysis, the speeding up of a chemical reaction by a substancewhich itself does not react, is vital not only to the chemicalprocess industry but also to life itself. The six volumeEncyclopedia of Catalysis is the definitive A-to-Z reference workcovering the most significant aspects of homogenous, heterogeneous,asymmetric, biomimetic, and biological catalysis. Available bothon-line and in print, the state-of-the-art Encyclopedia encompassesthe principles of catalysis; the scope of catalytic reactions; thepreparation, characterization, and use of catalysts (includingcatalytic technology); the modeling of catalytic processes; andrelated reaction engineering techniques. The logical organizationof this seminal work renders the text easily accessible to bothprocess personnel and those involved in basic and applied researchand development.

Green Catalysis by
In a world where the emphasis has shifted to being as Green and environmentally friendly as possible, leads to the requirement of this important 3-book set of the Handbook of Green Chemistry edited by the father and pioneer of Green Chemistry, Professor Paul Anastas. This series summarises the significant body of work that has accumulated over the past decade that details the breakthroughs, innovation and creativity within Green Chemistry and Engineering. Edited by the well-known chemist, Professor Robert Crabtree, never before has the subject of green catalysis been so thoroughly covered. Set 1 comprises of 3 books, with each volume focussing on a different area; Homogeneous Catalysis, Heterogeneous Catalysis and Biocatalysis. An essential collection for anyone wishing to gain an understanding of the world of green chemistry and for a variety of chemists, environmental agencies and chemical engineers.
Encyclopedic Dictionary of Named Processes in Chemical Technology by
Since the third edition of this reference was completed, there have been major changes in the global chemical industry. With less emphasis on new processes for making basic chemicals and more emphasis on pollution prevention and waste disposal, petrochemical processes are giving way to biochemical processes. These changes are reflected in the new p
The Yaws Handbook of Physical Properties for Hydrocarbons and Chemicals by
Refineries and petrochemical engineers today are accepting more unconventional feedstocks such as heavy oil and shale, causing unique challenges on the processing side of the business. To create more reliable engineering design of process equipment for the petrochemical industry, petroleum engineers and process managers are forced to study the physical properties and compounds of these particular hydrocarbons. Instead of looking up each compound's information, The Yaws Handbook of Physical Properties for Hydrocarbons and Chemicals, Second Edition presents an easy-to-use format with rapid access to search for the particular compound and understand all the complex calculations in one tabular format. Understanding the composition of hydrocarbons is not easy to calculate quickly or accurately, but this must-have reference leads the engineer to better estimated properties and fractions from easily measured components. Expanded to cover more total compounds and relevant functions, The Yaws Handbook of Physical Properties for Hydrocarbons and Chemicals, Second Edition remains a necessary reference tool for every petrochemical and petroleum engineers' library.
Rules of Thumb for Chemical Engineers by
Rules of Thumb for Chemical Engineers, Sixth Edition, is the most complete guide for chemical and process engineers who need reliable and authoritative solutions to on-the-job problems. The text is comprehensively revised and updated with new data and formulas. The book helps solve process design problems quickly, accurately and safely, with hundreds of common sense techniques, shortcuts and calculations. Its concise sections detail the steps needed to answer critical design questions and challenges. The book discusses physical properties for proprietary materials, pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical sector heuristics, process design, closed-loop heat transfer systems, heat exchangers, packed columns and structured packings. This book will help you: save time you no longer have to spend on theory or derivations; improve accuracy by exploiting well tested and accepted methods culled from industry experts; and save money by reducing reliance on consultants. The book brings together solutions, information and work-arounds from engineers in the process industry. Includes new chapters on biotechnology and filtration Incorporates additional tables with typical values and new calculations Features supporting data for selecting and specifying heat transfer equipment
