Distillation has historically been the dominant method for separating mixtures in the chemical process industry. Despite its flexibility and widespread use, it remains energy-intensive. Yet, it is irreplaceable and set to remain the separation technology of choice for decades ahead. Meeting the demands of an energy-conscious, sustainability-driven society requires radical innovation: not just incremental optimization, but transformative new concepts and integrated process designs.
Advanced Distillation Technologies (2nd Edition) provides the reader with a deep and broad insight into advanced intensified separations, covering both well-established and emerging technologies from conceptual design through to practical implementation. This fully revised and expanded edition includes:
Containing abundant examples and industrial case studies, this 2nd edition provides a unique and comprehensive resource tackling the most advanced distillation technologies, effectively integrating sustainability assessment, process intensification, and novel energy-efficient approaches for the modern chemical engineer.
