Applications in design and simulation of sustainable chemical processes / Alexandre C. Dimian, Costin Sorin Bildea and Anton A. Kiss

Applications in Design and Simulation of Sustainable Chemical Processes addresses the challenging applications in designing eco-friendly but efficient chemical processes, including recent advances in chemistry and catalysis that rely on renewable raw materials. Grounded in the fundamental knowledge of chemistry, thermodynamics, chemical reaction engineering and unit operations, this book is an indispensable resource for developing and designing innovating chemical processes by employing computer simulations as an efficient conceptual tool. Targeted to graduate and post graduate students in chemical engineering, as well as to professionals, the book aims to advance their skills in process innovation and conceptual design. The work completes the book Integrated Design and Simulation of Chemical Processes by Elsevier (2014) authored by the same team. Includes comprehensive case studies of innovative processes based on renewable raw materialsOutlines Process Systems Engineering approach with emphasis on systematic design methodsEmploys steady-state and dynamic process simulation as problem analysis and flowsheet creation toolApplies modern concepts, as process integration and intensification, for enhancing the sustainability
