Intensification and Sustainability in Chemical Engineering

Intensification and Sustainability in Chemical Engineering serves as a comprehensive guide to chemical process engineering and sustainability. Across four sections, the book covers topics such as sustainability metrics, energy efficiency, renewable energy integration, green synthesis, process intensification, circular economy, electrification, biotechnology, digitalization, and nanotechnology - all of which are crucial concepts in developing sustainable chemical processes as they address challenges, drive sustainability, and promote innovation within the field. This book serves as an invaluable resource to students at postgraduate and late undergraduate level within chemical engineering, as well as other engineering disciplines involving sustainable chemical processes.

It is also a useful reference for students, industrial researchers, and process designers working in other industries, or for decision/policymakers looking to make their research design and practices more sustainable and reduce environmental impacts.
