With a focus on actual industrial processes, e.g. the production
of light alkenes, synthesis gas, fine chemicals, polyethene, it
encourages the reader to think "out of the box" and
invent and develop novel unit operations and processes. Reflecting
today's emphasis on sustainability, this edition contains new
coverage of biomass as an alternative to fossil fuels, and process
intensification.
The second edition includes:
New chapters on Process Intensification and Processes for the
Conversion of Biomass
Updated and expanded chapters throughout with 35% new material
overall
Text boxes containing case studies and examples from various
different industries, e.g. synthesis loop designs, Sasol I Plant,
Kaminsky catalysts, production of Ibuprofen, click chemistry,
ammonia synthesis, fluid catalytic cracking
Questions throughout to stimulate debate and keep students
awake!
Richly illustrated chapters with improved figures and flow
diagrams
Chemical Process Technology, Second Edition is a
comprehensive introduction, linking the fundamental theory and
concepts to the applied nature of the subject. It will be
invaluable to students of chemical engineering, biotechnology and
industrial chemistry, as well as practising chemical engineers.
From reviews of the first edition:
"The authors have blended process technology, chemistry
and thermodynamics in an elegant manner... Overall this is a
welcome addition to books on chemical technology."
"Impressively wide-ranging and comprehensive... an
excellent textbook for students, with a combination of fundamental
knowledge and technology." - Chemistry in Britain

Chemical process technology is a broad area that brings together expertise in chemical engineering, chemistry and biotechnology, as well as project management, and the economic and environmental aspects of process and product development. This book provides an essential bridge between the chemical sciences and the chemical industry.
With a focus on actual industrial processes, e.g. the production of light alkenes, synthesis gas, fine chemicals, polyethene, it encourages the reader to think out of the box and invent and develop novel unit operations and processes. Reflecting today's emphasis on sustainability, this edition contains new coverage of biomass as an alternative to fossil fuels, and process intensification.
The second edition includes:
Praise for the best-selling first edition
From The Chemist, Summer 2003
