Book Description:

This is the new edition of chemical and process engineers' favorite reference. Previous editions of this authoritative, comprehensive handbook have sold more than 887,000 copies. This Seventh Edition contains 50% new or revised material, including new information on condensers, reboilers, evaporators, and vessels; multicomponent and enhance distillation including azeotropic, extractive, and reactive methods; gas absorption processes with data on plate performance, plate design, and packed towers, super-critical fluid and membrane separation processes; biochemical separation processes; materials of construction; and materials for process applications. The Handbook is once again the standard in the field with all the facts, figures, methods, and data engineers rely on and need.

Synopsis:

Provides facts, figures, methods and data needed to solve a wide range of problems faced by engineers in the chemical process industries. This edition reflects the many changes in the field, and covers topics such as waste management, expert systems, and handling of hazardous materials.
