Biochemical Engineering And Biotechnology

Biochemical Engineering and Biotechnology, 2nd Edition, outlines the principles of biochemical processes and explains their use in the manufacturing of every day products. The author uses a diirect approach that should be very useful for students in following the concepts and practical applications. This book is unique in having many solved problems, case studies, examples and demonstrations of detailed experiments, with simple design equations and required calculations. Covers major concepts of biochemical engineering and biotechnology, including applications in bioprocesses, fermentation technologies, enzymatic processes, and membrane separations, amongst others Accessible to chemical engineering students who need to both learn, and apply, biological knowledge in engineering principals Includes solved problems, examples, and demonstrations of detailed experiments with simple design equations and all required calculations Offers many graphs that present actual experimental data, figures, and tables, along with explanations

Biochemical Engineering and Biotechnology, Second Edition outlines the principles of biochemical processes and explains their use in the manufacturing of everyday products. The text covers the major concepts of biochemical engineering and biotechnology, and is an ideal reference for chemical engineering students who need to learn and apply biological knowledge in engineering principles. The author takes a direct, useful approach in presenting the concepts and practical applications, including many solved problems, case studies, examples, and demonstrations of detailed experiments, with simple design equations and required calculations also included. It is ideal for both those interested in more advanced research in the field of biotechnology, also acting as a guide for beginners seeking direction on establishing research in this field.

Biochemical engineering is the application of engineering principles to conceive, design, develop, operate, and/or use processes and products based on biological and biochemical phenomena. Biochemical engineering influences a broad range of industries, including health care, agriculture, food, enzymes, chemicals, waste treatment, and energy, among others. Historically, biochemical engineering has been distinguished from biomedical engineering by its emphasis on biochemistry and microbiology and by the lack of a health care focus. This is no longer the case. There is increasing participation of biochemical engineers in the direct development of pharmaceuticals and other therapeutic products. Biochemical engineering has been central to the development of the biotechnology industry, given the need to generate prospective products on scales sufficient for testing, regulatory evaluation, and subsequent sale. This book begins with a review of biodiesel processing technology, the use of varied biodiesel in diesel engines and an analysis of economic scale and ecological impact of biodiesel fuel. Other areas of research include the application of biochemical engineering in the fishery industry, algae growth, and waste water management.

This special volume "Tools and Applications of Biochemical Engineering Science" is dedicated to Professor Wolf-Dieter Deckwer on the occasion of his 60th bir- day. It was a great pleasure for me to act together with Professor Karl Schtigerl as volume editor and to present here a collection of 11 outstanding review articles written mainly by former students, associates, colleagues and friends of Wolf- Dieter Deckwer. The title of this special volume well reflects the research interests and sci- tific pursuit of Wolf-Dieter Deckwer during his more than 20 years’ work in the area of biochemical engineering, particularly during the last 15 years when he was the head of the Biochemical Engineering Division of GBF (German Nat- nal Research Center for Biotechnology). He has decisively pushed the devel- ment not only of "software tools" ranging from analytical means and mathe- tical models for monitoring and understanding cellular processes to gene expression systems for designing microorganisms, but also of "hardware tools" such as computer control systems, bioreaction and separation devices for eff- tively producing a variety of bioproducts on semi-production scale. New developments in some of these important tools in biochemical engineering are reviewed in articles included in this volume. Wolf-Dieter Deckwer was among the leading biochemical engineers who timely pointed out the necessity of applying these tools in an integrated manner for bioprocess development. By establishing "Integrated Bioprocess Development" as one of the GBF main - search topics as early as 1990 he also actively promoted this idea.

Ce livre historique peut contenir de nombreuses coquilles et du texte manquant.

Extrait: ...(2) Elle a ete reproduite avec plus ou moins d'etendue, apres Xenophon, par Ciceron (Des devoirs, i, 32; cf. Lettres familieres, v, 12), par Maxime de Tyr (discours IV"), par Philostrate (Vie d'Apollonius, v, 10; Vie des sophistes, preambule), par Themistius (discours III), par St Basile (De la lecture des auteurs paiens, ch. iv). Elle a ete imitee par Lucien (Sur un songe, ch. Vi-xvi), par Philon le juif (Des recompenses), par Silius Italicus (Les Puniques, chant xv). Beaucoup de peintres anciens en firent un sujet de tableau, comme nous l'apprend Philostrate. Xenophon l'avait-il lue dans le livre de Prodicus ou entendue repeter par Socrate? Peut-etre, mais on conjecturerait aussi bien "sans temerite qu'il l'entendit reciter par le sophiste lui-meme. Prisonnier des Thebains vers 395 avant J.C, Xenophon obtint sa liberte sous caution pour assister aux conferences que Prodicus donnait alors a Thebes meme. Douze ou quinze annees plus tot, Aristophane avait fait jouer sur le theatre d'Athenes sa comedie de Plutus; il la refondit et la fit jouer de nouveau en 390. C'est peut-etre dans l'intervalle entre ces deux dates qu'il introduisit dans l'action de sa piece une scene episodique, qui rappelle par quelques traits le debat de la Vertu et de la Volupte: on y voit une defense des merites de la Pauvrete allegues par ellememe. Fidele aux lois de son art, l'auteur comique ne cherche pas les effets d'une eloquence majestueuse, paree, solennelle;...
