Special Distillation Processes

Special distillation processes are defined as process intensification of distillation unit with high-efficient materials, equipments or operational methods, especially for the separation of liquid mixtures close to boiling point or forming azeotropic mixtures into their pure components. In Special Distillation Processes, Second Edition, the authors focus on latest developments in the field, such as separation methods that may prove useful for solving problems encountered during research. Topics include extraction, membrane and adsorption distillation involving the separation principle, process design and experimental techniques. The relationship between the processes and the techniques are also presented. Comprehensive and easy-to-read, this book provides key information needed to understand the processes and is a valuable reference source for chemical engineers as well as students wishing to branch out in chemical engineering.
