Sustainable Process Engineering
Description
Sustainable process engineering is a methodology to design new and redesign existing processes that follow the principles of green chemistry and green engineering, and ultimately contribute to a sustainable development. The newest achievements of chemical engineering, opened new opportunities to design more efficient, safe, compact and environmentally benign chemical processes. The book provides a guide to sustainable process design applicable in various industrial fields.
Discusses the topic from a wide angle: chemistry, materials, processes, and equipment.
Includes state-of-the-art research achievements that are yet to be industrially implemented.
Transfers knowledge between chemists and chemical engineers.
QR codes direct the readers to animations, short videos, magazines, and blogs on specific topics.
Worked examples deepen the understanding of the sustainable assessment of chemical manufacturing processes.
