Distillation And Absorption

Contains the papers presented at a symposium which aimed to address and record changes in distillation and absorption and to discuss new directions. Topics covered include: column sequencing; equipment; batch distillation; azeotropic and extractive distillation; packed columns and more.

This volume presents reports from the 1997 conference, held in Maastricht, Netherlands. The papers, covering a broad range of topics from the estimation of physical properties to the design and performance of contacting trays, demonstrate the high rate of advance in technology.

Get Cutting-Edge Coverage of All Chemical Engineering Topics— from Fundamentals to the Latest Computer Applications First published in 1934, Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook has equipped generations of engineers and chemists with an expert source of chemical engineering information and data. Now updated to reflect the latest technology and processes of the new millennium, the Eighth Edition of this classic guide provides unsurpassed coverage of every aspect of chemical engineering-from fundamental principles to chemical processes and equipment to new computer applications. Filled with over 700 detailed illustrations, the Eighth Edition of Perry's Chemcial Engineering Handbook features: Comprehensive tables and charts for unit conversion A greatly expanded section on physical and chemical data New to this edition: the latest advances in distillation, liquid-liquid extraction, reactor modeling, biological processes, biochemical and membrane separation processes, and chemical plant safety practices with accident case histories Inside This Updated Chemical Engineering Guide - Conversion Factors and Mathematical Symbols • Physical and Chemical Data • Mathematics • Thermodynamics • Heat and Mass Transfer • Fluid and Particle Dynamics Reaction Kinetics • Process Control • Process Economics • Transport and Storage of Fluids • Heat Transfer Equipment • Psychrometry, Evaporative Cooling, and Solids Drying • Distillation • Gas Absorption and Gas-Liquid System Design • Liquid-Liquid Extraction Operations and Equipment • Adsorption and Ion Exchange • Gas-Solid Operations and Equipment • Liquid-Solid Operations and Equipment • Solid-Solid Operations and Equipment • Size Reduction and Size Enlargement • Handling of Bulk Solids and Packaging of Solids and Liquids • Alternative Separation Processes • And Many Other Topics!

This work contains the proceedings of the Distillation and Absorption conference, which happens every 5 years. This collection of 100 contributions spanning 23 countries showcase the newest and best distillation and absorption technologies which cover a broad range of fundamental and applied aspects of the technology. To address these aspects, the contributions have been put into seven themes: modelling and simulation (steady-state, dynamic and CFD); energy efficiency and sustainability; equipment design and operation; integrated, hybrid and novel processes; process troubleshooting and handling operational problems; control and operation; and basic data.

Absorption And Stripping Are Essential Two Very Important Unit Operations Frequently Encountered In Both Cpis And Pcis. In Many Plants, Absorption & Stripping Operate In Conjunction With Distillation The Oldest Unit Operation That Emerged From Alchemists Laboratory Centuries Back.Contents: Absorption; Stripping; Hydraulics Of Operation; Design: Basic Concepts; Design: Absorbers & Strippers; Packings; Packed Tower Internals; Typical Absorptions Of Industrial Importance; Revamping Absorbers And Strippers; Cost Estimation Of Absorption Tower; Miscellaneous; Index; Etc.
