Description
Book SynopsisWhile chemical products are useful in their own rightthey address the demands and needs of the massesthey also drain our natural resources and generate unwanted pollution. Green Chemical Engineering: An Introduction to Catalysis, Kinetics, and Chemical Processes encourages minimized use of non-renewable natural resources and fosters maximized pollution prevention. This text stresses the importance of developing processes that are environmentally friendly and incorporate the role of green chemistry and reaction engineering in designing these processes.
Focused on practical application rather than theory, the book integrates chemical reaction engineering and green chemical engineering, and is divided into two sections. The first half of the book covers the basic principles of chemical reaction engineering and reactor design, while the second half of the book explores topics on green reactors, green catalysis, and green processes. The authors mix in elabor
Trade Review
"The use of modern computational tools in problem solving has given an entirely different dimension to this book, which makes it stand out from others."
—M. B. Saidutta Ph.D, NITK, Surathkal
"The book is very apt for both undergraduate and postgraduate chemical engineering curriculum. The book provides special emphasis on computer aided solution approaches and also introduces the readers to some state of-the-art chemical engineering modeling software."
—Prakash Kotecha, Department of Chemical Engineering, IIT Guwahati
