Chemical Process Industries

All chemical engineers, chemists, plant and facility managers, and design engineers are familiar with Shreve's Chemical Process Industries Handbook, long an industry standard. Now in a thoroughly revised and updated sixth edition, the Handbook is more essential than ever. Comprehensive and authoritative, the Handbook covers every new development in the field of chemical processing with new sections on: Environmental pollution control--with key governmental regulations on air, water, and solid-waste pollution; New cogeneration technology, including electrical production and engineering advances; The chemistry and manufacture of batteries and other energy-storage devices; New photographic and imaging products; Electroplating and other surface-treatment technologies; Biotechnology--the basics of DNA, gene splicing, and cell culturing.
