Handbook of industrial chemistry and biotechnology
edited by James A. Kent
- 11th ed.
- New York : Springer, 2007
- 2 v. : il. ; 27 cm
Substantially revising and updating the classic reference in the field, this handbook offers a valuable overview and myriad details on current chemical processes, products, and practices. No other source offers as much data on the chemistry, engineering, economics, and infrastructure of the industry. The Handbook serves a spectrum of individuals, from those who are directly involved in the chemical industry to others in related industries and activities. It provides not only the underlying science and technology for important industry sectors (30 of the book's 38 chapters), but also broad coverage of critical supporting topics. Industrial processes and products can be much enhanced through observing the tenets and applying the methodologies found in new chapters on Green Engineering and Chemistry, Practical Catalysis, and Environmental Measurements; as well as expanded treatment of Safety and Emergency Preparedness. Understanding these factors allows them to be part of the total process and helps achieve optimum results in, for example, process development, review, and modification. Other new chapters include Nanotechnology, Environmental Considerations in Facilities Planning, Biomass Utilization, Industrial Microbial Fermentation, Enzymes and Biocatalysis, the Nuclear Industry, and History of the Chemical Industry. Please note that this publication is available as print only OR online only OR print + online set. Save 75% of the online list price when purchasing the bundle. For more information on the online version please type the publication title into the search box above, then click on the 'eReference' version in the results list. Provides an integrated view of manufacturing areas with other topics essential in the new era. Chapters new to this edition: history of the chemical industry, green engineering, environmental considerations, nanotechnology, the nuclear industry, industrial catalysis, industrial enzymes and biocatalysis, industrial biotechnology, industrial production of therapeutic proteins, biomass utilization. Índice: Historical Development of the Chemical Industry.- Economic Aspectsof the Chemical Industry.- Chemical Process Safety: Safe Practices and Accident Prevention.- Managing an Emergency Preparedness Program.- Applied Statistical Methods.- Green Engineering: Integration of Green Chemistry, Pollution Prevention, and Risk Based Considerations.- Industrial Catalysis, a Practical Guide.- Environmental Chemical Determinations.- Nanotechnology: Principles and Applications .- Synthetic Organic Chemicals.- Chemistry in the Pharmaceutical Industry.- Manufactured Textile Fibers.- Dye Application, Manufacture of Dye Inter... Etc.
