Intensification of Liquid–Liquid Processes

Explore and review novel techniques for intensifying transport and reaction in liquid-liquid and related systems with this essential toolkit. Topics include discussion of the principles of process intensification, the nexus between process intensification and sustainable engineering, and the fundamentals of liquid-liquid contacting, from an expert with over forty-five years' experience in the field. Providing promising directions for investment and for new research in process intensification, in addition to a unique review of the fundamentals of the topic, this book is the perfect guide for senior undergraduate students, graduate students, developers, and research staff in chemical engineering and biochemical engineering.

• Features state-of-the-art reviews of specific intensification techniques in liquid-liquid systems, including enhancement of fluid dynamics, liquid membranes and new solvents, and a summary of underpinning recent research in each case
• Provides an updated overview of the fundamentals of drop behaviour and mass transfer phenomena in liquid-liquid systems
• Contains information to inform choice of new potential intensification techniques for industrial liquid-liquid processes, and to enable informed decisions on directions for new research and development
