Chemical Process and Design Handbook

Invaluable to chemical and environmental engineers as well as process designers, Chemical Process and Design Handbook shows you how to control chemical processes to yield desired effects efficiently and economically. The book examines each of the major chemical processes, such as reactions, separations, mixing, heating, cooling, pressure change, and particle size reduction and enlargement -- in logically arranged alphabetical chapters, providing you with an understanding of the essential qualitative analysis of each. The Handbook, from expert James Speight:

• Emphasizes chemical conversions -- chemical reactions applied to industrial processing
• Provides easy-to-understand descriptions to explain reactor type and design
• Describes the latest process developments and possible future improvements or changes

JAMES SPEIGHT is the author/editor/compiler of MORE THAN TWENTY books and bibliographies related to fossil fuel processing and environmental issues. As a result of his work, Dr. Speight was awarded the Diploma of Honor, National Petroleum Engineering Society, for Outstanding Contributions in the Petroleum Industry in 1995 and the Gold Medal of Russian Academy of Natural Sciences for Outstanding Work. He was also awarded the Degree of Doctor of Science from the Russian Petroleum Research Institute in St. Petersburg.
