  • Crystallization and Crystallizers

    • 1st Edition
    • Jean-Paul Duroudier
    • English
    Crystallization and Crystallizers, part of the Industrial Equipment for Chemical Engineering set, defines how to perform the selection and calculation of equipment needed in the basic operations of process engineering, offering reliable and simple methods, with this volume providing a comprehensive focus on crystallization and crystallizers. Throughout these concise and easy-to-use books, the author uses his vast practical experience and precision knowledge of global research to present an in-depth study of a variety of aspects within the field of chemical engineering.

  • Carbohydrate Chemistry—VII

    VIth International Symposium on Carbohydrate Chemistry
    • 1st Edition
    • W. M. Doane
    • English
    Carbohydrate Chemistry – VI (Madison 1972) covers the proceedings of the Sixth International Symposium on Carbohydrate Chemistry, held in Madison, USA on August 14-18, 1972. Chapter 1 focuses on the study of complex formation of sugar-metal complexes using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Chapter 2 describes the three types of reaction in the synthesis of fluoro sugars, namely, nucleophilic displacements with fluoride salts, epoxide cleavage, and glycal addition. Chapter 3 discusses the influence of pure, applied, and analytical research studies on the changes in carbohydrate marketing and industrial sugar production. Chapter 4 examines the biosynthesis of chondroitin sulfate, which exemplifies the formation of connective tissue polysaccharides. This chapter also considers the properties and substrate specificities of enzymes used in the biosynthesis. Chapter 5 explores the developments in cellulose and related polysaccharides found in plant cell walls. This book will be of great benefit to carbohydrate chemists and researchers.

  • Cogeneration in the Cane Sugar Industry

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 12
    • J.H. Payne
    • English
    The cane plant is probably the most efficient utilizer of sun energy for food production, and at the same time provides an equivalent quantity of biomass. The purpose of this book is to set down the unique position of sugar cane in the cogeneration field. Simultaneous with the development of distance-transmissio... of electricity, sugar cane processors started cogeneration, making use of the cane plant to supply the power for its own processing, and in recent years excess power for export.A broad view of cogeneration in the cane industry, covering the energy available in a crop, the technology of processing for optimum recovery of energy as well as sugar is presented here. The book describes the most practicable processes for recovering energy in the form of process steam and electricity.Cogenera... in the Cane Sugar Industry should be of interest to a broad spectrum, including government agencies, biomass interests, power generators, public utilities as well as sugar producers and technologist.
