Sustainable development is an area that has world-wide appeal,
from developed industrialized countries to the developing world.
Development of innovative technologies to achieve sustainability is
being addressed by many European countries, the USA and also China
and India. The need for chemical processes to be safe, compact,
flexible, energy efficient, and environmentally benign and
conducive to the rapid commercialization of new products poses new
challenges for chemical engineers.
This book examines the newest technologies for sustainable
development in chemical engineering, through careful analysis of
the technical aspects, and discussion of the possible fields of
industrial development.
The book is broad in its coverage, and is divided into four
sections:
* Energy Production, covering renewable energies,
innovative solar technologies, cogeneration plants, and smart
grids
* Process Intensification, describing why it is important
in the chemical and petrochemical industry, the engineering
approach, and nanoparticles as a smart technology for
bioremediation
* Bio-based Platform Chemicals, including the production
of bioethanol and biodiesel, bioplastics production and
biodegradability, and biosurfactants
* Soil and Water Remediation, covering water management
and re-use, and soil remediation technologies
Throughout the book there are case studies and examples of
industrial processes in practice.
