Ullmanns Reaction Engineering, 2 Volume Set

A carefully selected compilation of the most relevant articles from the online edition of “ ULLMANN’s Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry” , this handbook for the chemical engineer contains a wealth of information on industrial scale chemical reactions, their development, management and optimization. The first part of this two–volume compliation covers basic processes of reaction engineering and reactor types, followed by parts on energy management, process development and intensification, and process safety. Approximately three quarters of the articles have been published online or have been or extensively updated during 2010–2012, providing an up–to–date view on the science and engineering aspects of chemical reaction engineering.
