Description
Wiley Sustainable Industrial Chemistry Principles Tools and Industrial Examples 2009 Edition by Fabrizio Cavani, Gabriele Centi, Siglinda Perathoner, Ferruccio Trifiró
There are various books on green chemistry on the market, but without focus on sustainable industrial processes. This resource provides an overview of the new trends and hot topics in process design, describing the challenge of designing industrial chemical processes that are up-to-date, sustainable, and economically feasible. The industrial applications are presented directly by the companies - a veritable "Who's Who" of the chemical industry - that developed these innovative technologies. It provides an essential reference for chemical engineers, chemists in industry, process engineers, catalytic chemists, materials scientists, and environmental chemists.
