Ullmann's Processes
and Process Engineering
3 Volume Set

Ullmann's Processes and Process Engineering is tailor-made for anyone interested in industrial chemical processes, unit operations, process engineering, reactor design and optimization.

Based on the very latest edition of the 40-volume Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, the contents represent an up-to-date source of information. The detailed and thoroughly edited articles are written by renowned experts from industry and academia.

This 3 Volume Set provides coverage on all aspects of processes an process engineering. To simplify the presentation and discussion, the various unit and engineering operations are grouped under the main headings:

• Separation Processes
• Separation and Classification
• Mixing
• Particle Technology
• Heat Generation
• Processes under Special Conditions
• Principles of Process Engineering
• Reactor Types

A keyword index and an author index complete the contents of this handbook. Top-quality illustrations, clear diagrams and charts combined with the extensive use of tables enhance the presentation and provide a unique level of detail.

Thus, Ullmann's Processes and Process Engineering is an invaluable and convenient source of information for chemical engineers, chemists, patent attorneys, marketing manager and all those involved in the chemical process industry.
