Industrial Separation Processes Fundamentals – André de Haan, Hans Bosch – 1st Edition

Separation operations are crucial in the entire process industry with regard to energy consumption, the contribution to investment and the capacity to achieve the desired product with the correct specifications. Our main objective in creating this high-quality textbook We are now able to present a general description of the fundamentals that underlie the methods of industrial separation used with the greatest frequency.

The text book is organized into three main parts. The separation processes for homogeneous mixtures are treated in parts about molecular separations based on equilibrium and molecular separations controlled by speed. The part on mechanical separation technology presents a general description of the most important techniques for the separation of heterogeneous mixtures. Each chapter provides a brief general description of the most commonly used types of equipment. The text book concludes with a final chapter on the main considerations when selecting an appropriate separation process for a separation task. As the design of separation processes can only be learned by doing, we have included exercises at the end of each chapter. Cut answers are given at the end of this book, The detailed solutions are given in a separate solution manual.
