Handbook of Separation Techniques for Chemical Engineers

All-in-one database of 38 proven Separation Techniques helps you design efficient, cost-effective systems the first time, every time

Batch distillation problems solved! Melt crystallization techniques that save time and money! Air Stripping simplified! and much, much more. This new edition of the one and only handbook covering all major methods used to separate chemicals shares with you the knowledge and experience of 44 experts--and information that is vital to your industry and job.

This solutions-oriented book explains in detail all the industrially accepted techniques for separating chemicals from one another without the use of chemical reactions. Look to this book for every method of dealing with every mixture, including liquid-liquid, liquids with dissolved solids, liquid-solid, solid-solid, gas-liquid, and gas-solid.

New sections in the third edition cover design of tray columns, air stripping, melt crystallization, dust collectors, and hot gas barrier filtration. In addition, the chapters on batch distillation, steam distillation and stripping, design of packed columns, evaporation, crystallization from solutions, centrifugration, drying of solids in liquids, and gas-solid separation have been completely rewritten.

All the remaining chapters have been updated to reflect the latest developments in the field. This Handbook is essential to the performance of many tasks. For example, it helps. . .PROCESS ENGINEERS select the best separation technique and choose the correct equipment; PROJECT MANAGERS and PROJECT ENGINEERS learn all the requirements of design and implementation; ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERS use all of today's available techniques for removing undesirable ingredients from waste streams; PLANT ENGINEERS find a wide variety of process information to help them perform their job more efficiently. Whatever your separation problem, you'll find the procedure you need carefully detailed, the steps clearly outlined, and the optimum equipment fully described. All the mthods presented here have been proven in practice.
