Applications in Design and Simulation of Sustainable Chemical Processes addresses the challenge of creating eco-friendly yet efficient chemical processes, focusing on recent advancements in chemistry and catalysis that utilize renewable raw materials. Grounded in fundamental knowledge of chemistry, thermodynamics, chemical reaction engineering, and unit operations, this book serves as an essential resource for developing innovative chemical processes through computer simulations.
Targeted at graduate and postgraduate students in chemical engineering, as well as professionals, the book aims to enhance their skills in process innovation and conceptual design. It complements the work Integrated Design and Simulation of Chemical Processes, also published by Elsevier (2014), by the same authors.
The content includes comprehensive case studies of innovative processes based on renewable raw materials, outlines the Process Systems Engineering approach with an emphasis on systematic design methods, and employs steady-state and dynamic process simulation as tools for problem analysis and flowsheet creation. The book also applies modern concepts such as process integration and intensification to enhance sustainability.
