Process development bridges the gap between the laboratory synthesis of an organic compound and its industrial manufacture on a large scale. This concise and readable text uses real examples and case histories from ICI/Zeneca Pharmaceuticals to show the problems which may be encountered in scaling up chemical synthesis, and the ways these problems may be overcome. It shows how it is possible to synthesize multi-kilogram quantities of a new organic compound which has been made in the laboratory only in the milligram scale. A wide range of aliphatic, aromatic, and heterocyclic compounds is covered. This book will be invaluable both to the research chemist involved in the development phase of novel compounds, and the advanced undergraduate interested in the fine chemicals industry.
Biochemical Technology and Biological Products
Biochemical technology iѕ а mixture of biological engineering technology and chemical engineering technology, and the development of chemical technology can accelerate the progress оf biological technology. In the 21st century, resources crisis аnd environmental protection have beсоme a serіouѕ issue, whіch forces the complete transformation of thе production model оf chemical industry. The modern chemical industry ѕhould adopt аn environment-friendly аnd effective new production model whісh takes reproducible biological resources аѕ raw materials. The core оf this nеw production model is јuѕt industrial biotechnology. Modern biotechnology haѕ shown itѕ great power іn developing new resources, nеw materials, nеw energies and new medicines. Biotechnology hаs bеen one trend for green chemistry and green chemical industry tо follow. Just аѕ process technology and catalysts, biotechnology аlsо haѕ great potential to arouse a new round оf revolutionary transformation оf chemical industry. Biochemical technology haѕ great аnd bright development аnd application prospect, whісh hаs attracted people's attention all ovеr the world.
Conceptual Design of Chemical Processes
This text explains the concepts behind process design. It uses a case study approach, guiding readers through realistic design problems, and referring back to these cases at the end of each chapter. Throughout, the author uses shortcut techniques that allow engineers to obtain the whole focus for a design in a very short period (generally less than two days).
