Miguel A. Galan, Eva Martin del Valle0470024984, 9780470024980

Unlike extensive major reference works or handbooks, Chemical Engineering: Trends and Developments  provides readers with a ready-reference to latest techniques in selected areas of chemical engineering where research is and will be focused in the future. These areas are: bioseparations; particle science and design; nanotechnology; and reaction engineering. The aim of the book is to provide academic and R&D researchers with an overview of the main areas of technical development and how these techniques can be applied. Each chapter focuses on a technique, plus a selection of applications or examples of where the technique could be applied.
