    36th European Symposium of the Working Party on Computer Aided Process Engineering
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 14
    • Andrzej Kraslawski + 1 more
    • English
    This book contains papers presented at the 13th European Symposium on Computer Aided Process Engineering (ESCAPE-13). The ESCAPE symposia bring together scientists, students and engineers from academia and industry, who are active in the research and application of Computer Aided Process Engineering.The objective of ESCAPE-13 is to promote CAPE applications into new businesses and technologies by highlighting the use of computers and information technology tools in five specific areas: process design; process control and dynamics; modeling, simulation and optimization; applications in pulp and paper industry; and applications in biotechnology.

  • Membranes for Industrial Wastewater Recovery and Re-use

    • 1st Edition
    • S. Judd + 1 more
    • English
    There is increasing political and environmental pressure on industry to clean up the water which it uses in many processes, and to re-use this water where possible. This cleaning is done using specially-developed industrial membranes and this book covers the types and design of membranes, how they work and in which industries they are used. Special attention is paid to the textile, food/ beverage, pharmaceutical, oil and pulp and paper industries where such membranes are in regular use.

  • Membrane Separations Technology

    Single-Stage, Multistage, and Differential Permeation
    • 1st Edition
    • E.J. Hoffman
    • English
    The petroleum, natural gas, and the chemical & petrochemical process industries, variously require the separation of mixtures -- whether of raw feedstream materials, reactants, intermediates, or products -- as comprising gases, liquids, or solutions. Membrane separations add another weapon to the arsenal of separation methods, including the upgrading of subquality natural gas reserves. This book furnishes the necessary derivations and calculations for numerically predicting the separations that can be obtained, based on the known respective membrane permeabilities of the pure components. A verstile text, Membrane Separations Technology is suitable both as a reference and a textbook for the practicing process engineer, the researcher, and chemical & petrochemical engineering faculty and students.

The impact of the World Trade Organisation on the industry is also covered along with a comparative study of the textile clothing industries in the top ten exporting countries and regions in world trade.The Chinese and Hong Kong denim industry is invaluable to companies and individuals interested in the Chinese textile and clothing industry and markets. Universities and students specialising in textiles and clothing, marketing and management will also find this title of use, along with market development managers and market and industry analysts.

  • Fundamentals of Molecular Catalysis

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 3
    • English
    Almost all contemporary organic synthesis involve transition metal complexes as catalysts or particular reagents. The aim of this book is to provide the reader with detailed accounts of elementary processes within molecular catalysis to allow its development and as an aid in designing novel catalytic systems. The book comprises authoritative reviews on elementary processes from experts working at the forefront of organometallic chemistry.

  • Purification of Laboratory Chemicals

    • 5th Edition
    • W.L.F. Armarego
    • English
    Now in its fifth edition, the book has been updated to include more detailed descriptions of new or more commonly used techniques since the last edition as well as remove those that are no longer used, procedures which have been developed recently, ionization constants (pKa values) and also more detail about the trivial names of compounds.In addition to having two general chapters on purification procedures, this book provides details of the physical properties and purification procedures, taken from literature, of a very extensive number of organic, inorganic and biochemical compounds which are commercially available. This is the only complete source that covers the purification of laboratory chemicals that are commercially available in this manner and format.

  • Planar Lipid Bilayers (BLM's) and Their Applications

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 7
    • H.T. Tien † + 1 more
    • English
    The lipid bilayer is the most basic structural element of cell membranes. A wide range of topics are covered in this volume, from the origin of the lipid bilayer concept, to current applications and experimental techniques. Each chapter in this volume is self-contained and describes a group's research, providing detailed methodology and key references useful for researchers. Lipid bilayer research is of great interest to many because of it's interdisciplinary nature.
