| Summary: | "A fully updated edition of a popular textbook covering the four disciplines of chemical technology--featuring new developments in the field. Clear and thorough throughout, this textbook covers the major sub-disciplines of modern chemical technology--chemistry, thermal and mechanical unit operations, chemical reaction engineering, and general chemical technology--alongside raw materials, energy sources and detailed descriptions of 24 important industrial processes. It brings information on energy and raw material consumption and production data of chemicals up to date and offers not just improved and extended chapters, but completely new ones as well. This new edition of 'Chemical Technology: From Principles to Products' features a new chapter illustrating the global economic map and its development from the 15th century until today, and another on energy consumption in human history. Chemical key technologies for a future sustainable energy system such as power-to-x and hydrogen storage are now also examined. Chapters on inorganic products, material reserves, and water consumption and resources have been extended, while another presents environmental aspects of plastic pollution and handling of plastic waste. The book also adds four important processes to its pages: production of titanium dioxide, silicon, production and chemical recycling of polytetrafluoroethylene, and fermentive synthesis of amino acids"--Page 4 of cover. |
