Chemical Engineering- Towards Sustainability and Intensification

 by  Sunil Kulkarni  (Author) 

---

Advances in chemical engineering are focused on intensification of reactions, unit operations and mechanical operations. Intensification facilitates reduction in cost, size and increase in conversion, separation and selectivity. In case of distillation, reactive distillation can reduce energy cost and increase product quality considerably compared to conventional reactor- separator method. Similar advantages can be considered for reaction adsorption and other reactive separations.
Use of non-renewable energy sources can reduce burden on conventional feed stocks and reduce carbon foot prints. Nano materials are gaining importance due to their unique properties. Application of nanomaterial for process intensification is being explored in mass transfer, heat transfer and reaction engineering.
The composition of flue gases depends on raw material and process. It is important to have adequate knowledge of these aspects while selecting treatment methods. Various chemical conversion methods are effective for the treatment of flue gases. The recovery of components from flue gases involves adsorption, absorption, stripping, and desorption methods.
This book contains one chapter on food adulteration also. Food adulteration is very increasing and dangerous phenomenon. It is being practiced from ancient times. Adulteration for maximizing profit is very commonly practiced unethical practice. There is need for increasing moral and ethical values. There is need for people friendly methods for analysing or at least identification of adulterations. Also use of branded items can minimize harms due to adulteration.
The chapters in this book are focused on non-renewable energy (chapters 1, 5, 9), water treatment and recycle (chapters 4, 10, 11, 12), use of advanced materials for catalysts (chapters 2, 3, 13), flue gas heat recovery (14), Intensification of unit operations (5, 6, 7, 8) and adulteration in food products.
