Chemical Micro Process Engineering

Micro process engineering is approaching both academia and industry. With the provision of micro devices and systems by commercial suppliers, one main barrier for using these units has been eliminated.This work focuses on processes rather than on devices: what is 'before' and 'behind' micro device fabrication - and gives a comprehensive and detailed overview onA multi-faceted, hierarchic analysis of chemical micro process technologyModelling and simulation of micro reactorsLiquid- and liquid/liquid-phase reactionsGas/liquid reactionsGas-phase reactions (heterogeneous catalysis)Plants and applications like mixing, emulsion formation, heat exchange, organic and inorganic synthesis, multiphase and gas phase processes, periodic concentration and temperature cycling, catalyst screening, fine-chemical production, cosmetic, food, and others.Hessel, Volker is the author of 'Chemical Micro Process Engineering', published 2005 under ISBN 9783527314072 and ISBN 3527314075.
