Industrial Chemical Process Analysis and Design

Industrial Chemical Process Analysis and Design, Second Edition uses chemical engineering principles to explain the transformation of basic raw materials into major chemical products. The book discusses traditional processes to create products like nitric acid, sulphuric acid, ammonia, and methanol, as well as more novel products like bioethanol and biodiesel.

In addition to providing full code and datasets for download, detailed discussion of advanced in technology, this edition also contains three new chapters. Firstly, covering polymers, including H and L D PE, PMMA, PC, biobased and full analysis of each, including full code for modelling across popular software. Secondly , evaluating phosphoric acid production and fertilizers, and Finally, the third new chapter focuses on blast furnaces – outlining not only the traditional technologies using C as reducing agent, but also analysis of novel technologies using hydrogen. This book will be a comprehensive guide to students and academics working with the latest techniques in process optimization at graduate level and above, including some upper undergraduate researchers. This book will also be very valuable for academics looking to teach or lecture in chemical process engineering. This books will also be a very useful resource for anyone within the process industry - to introduce the analysis of novel technologies as well as the modelling examples including recent software such as python, gProms or even Excel or Matlab to solve reactor modelling and units operation but also process simulators applied to typical chemical processes.
