| Review: | This book, for engineers involved in process design and development, presents the current research into process intensification. It begins by introducing the philosophy and principles of process intensification, showing the equipment and methods involved and some examples of their application. It goes on to look in detail at rotating equipment, rotating packed beds and spinning disc reactors, in which the use of high-gravity fields lead to spectacular miniaturisation of the processing units. The technology, design and application of compact multifunctional heat exchangers are described. Various types of scales and of structures are then presented: microreactors; large-scale catalysts and reactors; and in-line mixing equipment. The applications aspects of functional integration of different separative techniques into hybrid separations are explained. The last chapters cover; multifunctional reactors; process intensification in industrial practice; process intensification for safety; and its contributions to sustainable development. |
