Description
Book SynopsisUnlike extensive major reference works or handbooks, Chemical Engineering provides readers with a ready reference to the latest techniques in selected areas of chemical engineering where research is and will be focused in the future. These areas are bioseparations, particle science and design, nanotechnology, and reaction engineering.
Trade Review"…a good resource for researchers, scientists, and engineers…would also serve well as a text for graduate students…" (
Materials and Manufacturing Processes, September/October 2006)
"…a book like this is…refreshing because it allows an interested reader to take a casual stroll on the beach and collect shells--hopefully picking up a few that spark innovation." (The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, October 2006)
