Calculations in Industrial Chemistry: A Series of Solved Problems

Calculations in Industrial Chemistry meets the need for an extensive introduction to the techniques of problem solving in industrial chemical applications. The numerous examples are presented in an easy–to–understand fashion, aimed directly at scientists and engineers working in industry, as well as newcomers in the field. The book also provides a quick, comprehensive and contemporary re–education for practitioners, involving interdisciplinary functions and knowledge in the chemical and related industries. Ari Horvath′s book is a general guide and introduction to the complex subject of problem solving; it also prepares the reader for the study of more specialised texts and the increasing body of research material published in this area. Literature sources are provided where applicable. The examples originate from the author′s own rich industrial experience and cover a broad area of science and technology – invaluable to industrial workers. The book provides a step by step solution of worked examples and also collates expressions for calculations in industrial chemistry and technology. A unique feature is that most of this compilation of examples has been reported in journals or performed in the industrial environment by the author. This is "first–hand", direct problem solving for the chemist in industry.
