Riassunto

Distillation: Equipment and Processes-winner of the 2015 PROSE Award in Chemistry & Physics from the Association of American Publishers-is a single source of authoritative information on all aspects of the theory and practice of modern distillation, suitable for advanced students and professionals working in a laboratory, industrial plants, or a managerial capacity. It addresses the most important and current research on industrial distillation, including all steps in process design (feasibility study, modeling, and experimental validation), together with operation and control aspects. This volume features an extra focus on distillation equipment and processes.

• Winner of the 2015 PROSE Award in Chemistry & Physics from the Association of American Publishers
• Practical information on the newest development written by recognized experts
• Coverage of a huge range of laboratory and industrial distillation approaches
• Extensive references for each chapter facilitates further study

Informazioni sugli autori

Professor Andrzej Górak is Chair of Fluid Separations at the Technical University of Dortmund, Germany and Professor at the Technical University of Łódz, Poland. He received his PhD from the Institute of Chemical Engineering at the Technical University of Łódz where he continued his work as a senior researcher. He then assumed the same position at Henkel KGaA in Düsseldorf. In 1992, Prof. Górak completed his postdoctoral “Habilitation” at RWTH Aachen and was appointed Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering at the Technical University of Dortmund. Between 1996 and 2000, he was Chair of Fluid Separations at Essen University, before returning to and taking over the Chair at the TU Dortmund.

Dr. Sc. Žarko Olujić is an independent scientific consultant and an unpaid associate professor at the Process & Energy Laboratory of the Delft University of Technology. He has over 40 years of academic research and teaching experience in former Yugoslavia, Germany and the Netherlands. He received all his academic degrees from the University of Zagreb, Croatia (Dipl. Ing. in Chemical and Petroleum Engineering, 1969; MSc. in Chemical Engineering, 1975; and Dr. Sc. in Process Engineering, 1976). He is a Fellow of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE).

Dalla quarta di copertina

This is one of three books in a collection covering all aspects of distillation. Distillation is the oldest technology available for the separation and purification of liquid mixtures and is a key unit operation within the petroleum refining, chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food, and alcohol industries.

Distillation: Equipment and Processes covers related contents written by prominent authors from academia and industry. The first chapter gives a concise description on types of distillation column internals and discusses the relative advantages and disadvantages of equipment used for vapor-liquid contacting and separation in distillation practice. More details on the characteristic features of the main types of vapor-liquid contactors can be found in individual chapters devoted to distillation trays, random packings, and structured packings. Equipment-related aspects are strongly represented in a chapter on dividing wall columns. Separation of azeotropic mixtures is addressed in distinct chapters on extractive distillation and azeotropic distillation. Other chapter topics include reactive distillation, and characteristic features of vacuum and high pressure distillation. The last chapter on laboratory distillation and scale up outlines the methodology of scale up in distillation.
