Front cover of Contributions of Chemical Engineering to Sustainability

Contributions of Chemical Engineering to Sustainability

This book discusses the recent advancements in chemical engineering and their role in achieving the United Nations' 2030 Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Addressing these goals involves tackling intricate and interdisciplinary challenges.

Chemical engineers have been diligently addressing a diverse array of issues across academia, society, and industry, with the aim of positively impacting these goals.

The book offers essential insights and detailed analyses for each SDG. It explores the challenges encountered within various applications and proposes solutions based on foundational engineering principles. The book's content is tailored to professionals, students, and researchers across diverse fields, including engineering, environmental science, and biotechnology (Provided by Publisher).

Molecular World: Making Modern Chemistry

Looks at the history of synthetic organic chemistry and challenges long-held beliefs that theory drove the experiments, asserting that it was actually the lab work that birthed the theory (Provided by Publisher).

This title was acquired through the Library's Order a Book service.

Chemical Engineering Principles and Applications

This text provides a clear and concise understanding of the principles and applications of chemical engineering using a rigorous, yet easy-to-follow, presentation. The coverage is broad, and it includes all the relevant concepts such as mass and energy balances, mass transfer, chemical reaction engineering, and many more. Elucidation of the principles is further reinforced by examples and practice problems with detailed solutions. Firmly grounded in the fundamentals, the book maximizes readers' capacity to take on new problems and challenges in the field with confidence and conviction. Providing a ready reference and review of essential principles and their applications in chemical engineering, the book is ideal for undergraduate chemical engineering students, as well as practicing engineers preparing for the engineering license exams (FE and PE) in USA and abroad (Provided by Publisher).
