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.
Reviews / Votes
"These books, when taken together, are probably the best on the market on the subject of distillation...would add value to any engineer's library, whether they be a practising engineer, an academic or indeed a student. 4.5 Stars" --The Chemical EngineerMore details

Professor Andrzej Gorak is Chair of Fluid Separations at the Technical University of Dortmund, Germany and Professor at the Technical University of Lodz, Poland. He received his PhD from the Institute of Chemical Engineering at the Technical University of Lodz where he continued his work as a senior researcher. He then assumed the same position at Henkel KGaA in Duesseldorf. In 1992, Prof. Gorak completed his postdoctoral "Habilitation? at RWTH Aachen and was appointed Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering at the Technical University of Dortmund. Between 1996 and 2000, he was Chair of Fluid Separations at Essen University, before returning to and taking over the Chair at the TU Dortmund. Eva Sorensen is currently Professor in Chemical Engineering and Head of Department. Prior to joining UCL, she spent one year at the Centre for Process Systems Engineering at Imperial College London as a postdoctoral researcher. Eva Sorensen is a member of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering (EFCE) Working Party on Fluid Separations (Chair 2007-2013) and she was previously a member of the EFCE's Executive Board (2011-2017). Her research focuses on fluid separations in chemical engineering, emphasizing the use of advanced modelling and optimization techniques to achieve optimal design and operation, particularly in fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Her work aims to enhance productivity and reduce environmental impact by exploring all design possibilities, with experimental verification conducted at UCL or through collaborations with industry and other researchers.
