Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts--agents that permits a reaction to occur at a faster rate or under milder conditions such as lower temperatures. Industrial enzymes are those catalysts used on large production-oriented scales to aid the reactions of mass quantities of chemicals. This new work (based on the highly successful German edition published by Carl Hanser Verlag) represents an authoritative catalog of enzymes and their industrial applications.

This practical sourcebook treats the subjects of mold design and molding operations as intimately related. And in this updated second edition, you'll find clear explanations for every step in the mold making and molding process. You'll learn how each phase-from blueprint to actual shaping-relates to one another for an efficient, effective product.
The book emphasizes thermoplastic molding since it is by far the largest activity in the molding field.

With an emphasis on a good understanding of the traditional thermodynamic tools and novel, state-of-the-art methods to represent real fluid behavior, this new book enables you to solve real phase equilibria problems. As almost all modern technical processes involve multicomponent mixtures, this book should prove indispensable to those working in natural and industrial processes.

Designed for the practicing engineer, this authoritative work provides the first, comprehensive reference devoted to metering pumps, covering all aspects of their selection, application, and operation. This single-volume source simplifies the utilization of metering pumps for process and waste water treatment, as well as chemical dosing and blending-important functions in every major industry-reducing costs and saving valuable time.

This edition has been revised to make sections more manageable and to emphasize structural divisions of topic areas. Clarifies the basic theories of polymer structures as well as the flow and mechanics concepts needed to understand their processing and applications. Features new chapters on fiber reinforced composites and design of plastic products.

Improve your chemical engineering skills with this lucid guide to handling systems with three or more species. The book features important material on transport phenomena and separation processes, and shows you how to use rigorous multicomponent mass transfer models for the simulation and design of process equipment. Includes a 3-1/2" DOS computer disk for solving the problems in the book.

This volume presents critical reviews of physical, analytical, and organic chemistry plus biology, in a single source.

This useful reference presents authoritative advice from 85 international researchers on the chemistry and industrial applications of techniques for creating lower olefins and aromatics from alternative raw materials.

The Second Edition of this incomparable resource continues to provide lucid up-to-date examinations of the chemical nature, characteristic properties, and uses of such traditional industrial polymers as acrylics, polyolefins, vinyl polymers, polyesters, epoxies, and silicones, among others, and offers state-of-the-art coverage of specialty polymers designed to satisfy specific applications

Presents the practice of automatic process control along with the fundamental principles of control theory. Includes a generous number of case studies, problems, and examples taken from the authors' experience in industry. Directed to the process industries, discussing process dynamic response in terms of principles of material and energy balances, fluid flow, heat transfer, separation processes, and reaction kinetics. Shows how to develop simple process models, and describes control systems components and feedback.

Modeling, analysis and simulation of chemical processes is increasingly central to the work of chemical engineers -- but it is rarely covered in depth in process design guides. This book fills that gap. It is a comprehensive introduction to process modeling and dynamics using the powerful MATLAB and SIMULINK analysis tools.

This is the new edition of the single most comprehensive and authoritative reference source available to chemical engineers. It has been significantly revised and updated to incorporate the many developments that have taken place since the previous edition was published over a decade ago. The handbook retains its usual broad coverage of all classical chemical engineering topics, and in addition, users will find never-before-included coverage of waste treatment and bio-chemical engineering. It provides current state-of-the-art information on principles, design approaches, and equipment, supplemented by substantial amounts of data essential for performing calculations and solving design problems.

Most industrial processes are designed for, and operate near equilibrium conditions. Even when this is not the case it is important to know what would happen at equilibrium.The processes of primary importance in chemical engineering are those of conversion and separation involving gases, liquids, and solids. This book covers the practical aspects and the thermodynamics basis of equilibria between these various phases.

Completely rewritten and reorganized to reflect the latest developments in estimating the properties of gases and liquids, this new edition presents a comprehensive survey of the most reliable estimation methods in use today. An invaluable reference that provides property values for more than 600 pure chemicals

Supercritical fluid extraction is a technique in which CO2 is used under extremely high pressure to separate solution (e.g., removing caffeine from coffee). Separations is basic to all process industries and supercritical fluid extraction is a specific type which is receiving a high level of attention. The book will meld basic fundamentals with industrial applications.
