Chlorinated organic compounds are indispensable in industrial production – but they are usually toxic, often carcinogenic and damage genetic material. In the well-structured tables of this book the user can recognize at a glance the toxicological effects of the classes of chlorinated organic compounds most often used in industry. The clear and scientifically based evaluation of the data shows the risk associated with chlorinated organic compound ...
This book describes the fascinating wealth of activities as they occur in the design, construction and commissioning of a chemical plant – a jigsaw puzzle of the work of chemical engineers, chemists, constructors, architects, electrical engineers, process automation engineers, economists and legal staff. The author first takes the reader through the conceptual phase, in which the economic relevance and environmental impact need to be considered ...
Written by international experts, this monograph combines two of the most important aspects of modern chemistry, presenting the latest knowledge on these environmental friendly applications. This result is a comprehensive overview of the application of nanoparticles in catalysis, focusing on synthesis and the most important reaction types, providing all the information needed by catalytic, organic and solid state chemists, as well as those worki ...
This first systematic overview for more than a decade is tailor-made for the medicinal chemist. All the chapters are written by experienced drug developers and include practical examples from real drug candidates. Following an introduction to global drug properties and their impact on drug research, screening and combinatorial chemistry libraries, this handbook demonstrates the best and fastest way to estimate those properties most relevant for ...
Almost every modern manufacturing process relies on industrial gases, and sales of such gases are expected to rise by around 45% over the next five years. Here, experienced and authoritative experts from one of the two world's largest producer of industrial gases impart their knowledge on atmospheric, noble and synthesized gases, carbon dioxide, LNG, acetylene and other fuel gases, as well as special and medical gases. Modern applications, e.g., ...
With its focus on catalysis and addressing two very hot and timely topics with significant implications for our future lives, this will be a white book in the field. The authority behind this practical work is the IDECAT Network of Excellence, and the authors here outline how the use of catalysis will promote the more extensive use of renewable feedstocks in chemical and energy production. They present the latest applications, their applicabilit ...
In this book, the reader is guided through the complex study of dynamic chemical engineering systems by the unique combination of a simplified presentation of the fundamental theory (Part 1) and direct hands-on computer experimentation with the provision of 85 accompanying computer-based simulation examples (Part 2) supplied on diskette. The ISIM digital simulation language is very simple to use and its powerful interactive nature enables the re ...
This book surveys methods, problems, and tools used in process control engineering. Its scope has been purposely made broad in order to permit an overall view of this subject. This book is intended both for interested nonspecialists who wish to become acquainted with the discipline of process control engineering and for process control engineers, who should find it helpful in identifying individual tasks and organizing them into a coherent whole ...
This unique book is the most exhaustive and up-to-date treatment of the subject of admixtures in crystallization available today. The introduction, particularly suitable for newcomers but also helpful for more advanced readers, discusses concisely current theory and experience and provides about 250 references for further reading. The main section provides a detailed survey of the effects of over 200 organic and inorganic admixtures on the cryst ...
