A fully updated edition of a popular textbook covering the four disciplines of chemical technology - featuring new developments in the field

Clear and thorough throughout, this textbook covers the major sub-disciplines of modern chemical technology:chemistry, thermal and mechanical unit operations, chemical reaction engineering, and general chemical technology - alongside raw materials, energy sources and detailed descriptions of 24 important industrial processes and products. It brings information on energy and raw material consumption and production data of chemicals up to date and offers not just improved and extended chapters, but completely new ones as well.

This new edition of Chemical Technology: From Principles to Products features a new chapter illustrating the global economic map and its development from the 15th century until today, and another on energy consumption in human history. Chemical key technologies for a future sustainable energy system such as power-to-X and hydrogen storage are now also examined. Chapters on inorganic products, material reserves, and water consumption and resources have been extended, while another presents environmental aspects of plastic pollution and handling of plastic waste. The book also adds four important processes to its pages: production of titanium dioxide, silicon, production and chemical recycling of polytetrafluoroethylene, and fermentative synthesis of amino acids.

-Provides comprehensive coverage of chemical technology - from the fundamentals to 24 of the most important processes
-Intertwines the four disciplines of chemical technology: chemistry, thermal and mechanical unit operations, chemical reaction engineering and general chemical technology
-Fully updated with new content on: power-to-X and hydrogen storage; inorganic products, including metals, glass, and ceramics; water consumption and pollution; and additional industrial processes
-Written by authors with extensive experience in teaching the topic and helping students understand the complex concepts

Chemical Technology: From Principles to Products, Second Edition is an ideal textbook for advanced students of chemical technology and will appeal to anyone in chemical engineering.
Dieses beliebte Lehrbuch vereint die vier Fachrichtungen der Chemietechnik: Chemie, thermische und mechanische Verfahrenstechnik, chemische Reaktionstechnik und allgemeine Chemietechnik. Die 2. Auflage wurde aktualisiert und spiegelt neue Entwicklungen des Fachgebiets wider.

Autor

Andreas Jess, PhD is Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of Bayreuth since 2001. His research interests are the optimization and modeling of catalytic processes, utilization of ionic liquids, and processes for production of fuels and chemicals from fossil and renewable resources. Peter Wasserscheid, PhD, is Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. He is also a founding member of the Solvent Innovation GmbH and acts as its scientific supervisor. His research focuses on highly selective catalytic processes.
