High Pressure Processes in Chemical Engineering

by Suryadi Ismadji, Chun Xiang (Cynthia) Lin, Justin Foster

High pressures not only affect chemical reactions themselves, but also process safety and economics. This book presents an update on high pressure processes in chemical engineering. From the Supercritical fluid extraction Fundamentals of high pressure combustion High pressure tubes and vessels - safety aspects Supercritical fluid pasteurisation Turbulence in high-pressure reactors Heat transfer under high pressures Low-temperature sterilization for biomedical applications Material testing under high pressures Polymorphs by high pressure High pressure powder metallurgical processes High pressure hydrogen storage Enzymatic esterification under high pressure Pressure Assisted Thermal Sterilization High Pressure Hydrogenation Transport processes under high pressure High Pressure Synthesis of nanocavity based materials
