Cyclic Separating Reactors

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Cyclic Separating Reactors is a critical examination of the literature covering periodically operated separating reactors incorporating an adsorbent as well as a catalyst, aiming to establish the magnitude of performance improvement available with this type of reactor compared to systems in which the reactor and separator are separate units. The adequacy of present models is considered by comparison of simulation and experimental studies, and gaps in understanding or experimental verification of model predictions are identified. Separating reactors, including chromatographic reactors and pressure swing reactors, are an expeditious means of process intensification, reducing both capital and operating costs, particularly where reactions are equilibrium limited. For this reason, cyclically operating separating reactors are attracting considerable interest across the range of chemical manufacturing industries, so this book is a timely and valuable summary of the literature available to the engineer. Following an introduction to multifunctional reactors and to periodic reactor operation, Cyclic Separating Reactors covers both chromatographic and pressure swing adsorption reactors, and is written for chemical engineers in both industry and academe.

Rezensionen

"Although its usefulness to scientists and engineers already in thefield is immeasurable, (this book) would also be most uniquelyvaluable to students getting initiated to this discipline.
Takashi Aida and Peter Silveston have succeeded admirably incollecting together in a single volume a timely and valuablesummary of the literature available to the engineer. This book is amust for anyone seriously interested in acquiring a properevaluation and knowledge on cyclic operating reactors." (CurrentEngineering Practice)
