Industrial Chemical Process Analysis and Design

Industrial Chemical Process Analysis and Design, Second Edition uses chemical engineering principles to explain the transformation of basic raw materials into major chemical products. The book discusses traditional processes to create products like nitric acid, sulphuric acid, ammonia, and methanol, as well as more novel products like bioethanol and biodiesel.

In addition to providing full code and datasets for download, detailed discussion of advanced in technology, this edition also contains three new chapters. Firstly, covering polymers, including H and L D PE, PMMA, PC, biobased and full analysis of each, including full code for modelling across popular software. Secondly , evaluating phosphoric acid production and fertilizers, and Finally, the third new chapter focuses on blast furnaces – outlining not only the traditional technologies using C as reducing agent, but also analysis of novel technologies using hydrogen. This book will be a comprehensive guide to students and academics working with the latest techniques in process optimization at graduate level and above, including some upper undergraduate researchers. This book will also be very valuable for academics looking to teach or lecture in chemical process engineering. This books will also be a very useful resource for anyone within the process industry - to introduce the analysis of novel technologies as well as the modelling examples including recent software such as python, gProms or even Excel or Matlab to solve reactor modelling and units operation but also process simulators applied to typical chemical processes.

• Integrates principles of chemical engineering, unit operations, and chemical reactor engineering to understand process synthesis and analysis
• Includes historical perspectives and traces the improving efficiencies of commercially important chemical production processes
• Provides a systematic analysis of the processes building on thermodynamics, kinetics, mass and energy balances, reactor engineering and unit operations
• Details different software packages to solve the examples, from general purpose ones such as EXCEL or new ones like Python to specialized ones such as process simulators (CHEMCAD or gProms)
• Features worked examples and end-of-chapter problems with solutions to show the application of concepts discussed in the text
