• Sommario/riassunto: Process Technology provides a general overview about chemical and biochemical process technology. It focuses on the structure and ; development of production processes, main technological operations and the important aspects of process economics. The theoretical foundations in each chapter are supplemented by case studies and examples in a clear and instructive manner to illustrate the practical aspects.The author highlights operating principles, reasons for application and available industrial equipment of technological operations. Aim is to facilitate those without a process technology background in multi-disciplinary cooperation with (bio-) chemical engineers by providing an overview of this exciting field.The textbook is organized into seven distinct parts:Structure of the chemical industry and (bio-) chemical processes(Bio-) Chemical reaction engineeringMolecular separations (distillation, extraction, absorption, adsorption)Mechanical separations (filtration, sedimentation, membranes)Particle and final product manufacturingDevelopment, scale-up, design and safety of processesMajor industrial process descriptions
