Handbook of Chemical Technology and Pollution Control
About this book
Handbook of Chemical Technology and Pollution Control integrates industrial chemistry with pollution control and environmental chemistry. This unified approach provides practicing professionals and consultants with a concise yet authoritative handbook covering the Key Features, relative importance, and environmental impact of currently operating chemical processes. It also meets the critical needs of students training for industrial careers.Handbook of Chemical Technology and Pollution Control considers community, municipal, power generation, industrial, and transportation components of environmental impact. The book covers the major inorganic and organic commodity chemicals; aluminum, iron and steel, and copper prodution; pulp and paper; fermentation; petroleum production and refining. It also includes key topics and process details for major peterochemicals and large-scale consumer and engineering polymers. This single, convenient volume describes aspects of recycling at the industrial and post-consumer levels, and emphasizes a quantitative approach as used in the author's well-known lifecycle work with disposable and reusable cups.0-12-350811-8Key Features* Covers historical background and new developments in a single, authoritative handbook* Presents integrated treatment of chemical technology with emission control chemistry* Includes tables throughout that give current and trend data* Considers community, municipal, power generation, industrial, and transportation components of environmental impact* Provides many references to further reading* Contains review questions that offer working experience with the information and concepts
