    Element Transfer Reaction Theory: Foundations and Applications in Industrial Synthesis introduces a framework for modern chemical manufacturing. Bridging molecular reaction theory with the complex realities of industrial practice, the book pioneers the Element Transfer Reaction (ETR) approach that is anchored on the interplay between Element Source, Driving Force, and Output. Through compelling case studies, including lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF₆) production and by-product valorization, the book demonstrates how ETR enables more sustainable, efficient, and resilient process design. Structured for clarity and depth, this resource covers the emergence of ETR theory in chemical synthesis and foundational pillars, including Element Source, Driving Force, and Output.Users will find this to be a rigorous methodology and resource for evaluating synthetic reactions using practical, industry-relevant metrics, and key insights for future innovation in industrial chemistry. This is an essential resource for chemical engineers, industrial chemists, process designers, and sustainability researchers seeking to advance resource efficiency, supply chain stability, and sustainable manufacturing in their fields.

  • Liquid-Gas and Solid-Gas Separators

    • 1st Edition
    • Jean-Paul Duroudier
    • English
    Liquid-Gas and Solid-Gas Separators, part of the Industrial Equipment for Chemical Engineering set, details the magnetic properties of solids and their separation in a magnetic field. After a thorough description of the electronic filter and its functioning, numerical examples are given for the functioning of Venturi (which is a convergent–divergent... The centrifugal separator with superimposed plates theory is also developed alongside the screw-mud-pump. The author also provides the methods needed for understanding the equipment used in applied thermodynamics in the hope of encouraging students and engineers to self build the programs they need. Chapters are complemented with appendices that provide additional information and associated references.

  • Liquid-Liquid and Solid-Liquid Extractors

    • 1st Edition
    • Jean-Paul Duroudier
    • English
    Liquid-Liquid and Solid-Liquid Extractors, part of the Industrial Equipment for Chemical Engineering set, presents a concise and easy-to-use book on the calculation of differential liquid–liquid extraction, an investigation of equilibrium and material transfer between a fluid and a divided solid, and the fundamentals of liquid–solid extraction, among other strategies. The author also provides methods needed for the understanding the machinery used in applied thermodynamics in the hopes of encouraging students and engineers to construct the programs they need. Chapters are complemented with appendices which provide additional information and associated references.

  • Advances in Transport Processes

    The subject matter covered in this volume covers a wide scope. It contains critical reviews in many frontier areas of interest to engineers and applied scientists. Multiphase transport ranging from floc breakage to flow through multiphase media is discussed. Difficult problems of bubble growth and devolatilisation from polymeric melts are treated. The question of solid-liquid phase change with flow is considered and the emerging quantitation of web drying technology through mathematical modeling is covered. Transport phenomena in high-tech materials ranging from zeolite catalysts to liquid crystalline materials are covered and formidable problems of transport of gases in porous media, which have implications in many different technologies, are also addressed. Finally, applications of newer techniques in numerical computation of transport processes are highlighted.These authorative, evaluative and timely reviews of topics of current and potential interest will serve the needs of practising engineers as well as academic and industrial researchers.
