Sustainability in the Design, Synthesis and Analysis of Chemical Engineering Processes

Sustainability in the Design, Synthesis and Analysis of Chemical Engineering Processes is an edited collection of contributions from leaders in their field. It takes a holistic view of sustainability in chemical and process engineering design, and incorporates economic analysis and human dimensions. Ruiz- Mercardo and Cabeza have brought to this book their experience of researching sustainable process design and life cycle sustainability evaluation to assist with development in government, industry and academia. This book takes a practical, step-by-step approach to designing sustainable plants and processes by starting from the foundational chemical engineering fundamentals. This method enables readers to achieve new process design approaches with high influence and less complexity. It will also help you to incorporate sustainability at the early stages of project life, and build up multiple systems level perspectives. Ruiz-Mercardo and Cabeza's book is the only book on the market that looks at process sustainability from a chemical engineering fundamentals perspective. Improve plants, processes, and products with sustainability in mind; from conceptual design to life cycle assessmentIllustrates how to avoid retro fitting costs by planning for sustainability concerns at the start of the design processLinks sustainability to chemical engineering fundamentalsIncorporates economic analysis and human dimensions for a holistic view of sustainability in chemical and process engineering design INDICE: Chapter 1: Pollution prevention and sustainable development for chemical processes Chapter 2: Towards More Sustainable Chemical Engineering Processes - Integrating sustainable and green chemistry into the engineering design process Chapter 3: Separations vs. Sustainability - there is no such thing as a free lunch Chapter 4: Conceptual Chemical Process Design for Sustainability Chapter 5: Process Integration for Sustainable Design Chapter 6: Modeling and Advanced Control for Sustainable Process Systems Chapter 7: Sustainable Engineering Economic and Profitability Analysis Chapter 8: Managing Conflicts among Decision-Makers in Multiobjective Design and Operations Chapter 9: Sustainable System Dynamics: A Complex Networks Analysis Chapter 10: Process synthesis by the P-graph framework involving sustainability Chapter 11: Sustainability assessment and performance improvement of electroplating process systems Chapter 12: Strategic sustainable assessment of retrofit design for process performance evaluation Chapter 13: Chemical Engineering and Biogeochemical Cycles: A Techno-Ecological Approach to Industry Sustainability Chapter 14: Challenges for model-based life-cycle inventories and impact assessment in early to basic process design stages Chapter 15: Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment: A holistic evaluation of social, economic and environmental impacts Chapter 16: Embedding Sustainability in Product and Process Development - the role of process system engineers
