Distillation: Fundamentals and Operations, Second Edition provides a comprehensive introduction to the scientific and engineering foundations of modern distillation technology. Revised and extended, the volume covers the fundamental principles, practical aspects, and recent developments relevant to the analysis, design, and operation of distillation processes. The chapters trace the history of distillation and examine vapor-liquid equilibria, physical properties, mass transfer, energy use, heat exchange, and column internals. Further sections provide practical guidance on performance testing, troubleshooting, and special distillation operations. The volume also introduces high-gravity distillation as an example of process intensification aimed at improving mass-transfer performance, energy efficiency, and equipment compactness.

This updated edition builds on the success of its PROSE award-winning predecessor, integrating new developments and research. It is tailored for chemical engineers, process designers, researchers, and students in chemical engineering and related fields. Whether you are involved in energy efficiency, sustainability, or advanced process design, this book serves as a vital reference, empowering you to enhance your expertise and drive innovation in distillation technology.

Fully revised and updated new edition of the 2015 PROSE Award Winner in Chemistry & Physics from the Association of American Publishers
Addresses the need for improved energy efficiency and conceptual methods/computational tools applied in the design, optimization, and control of distillation processes

Mer om författaren

Eva Sørensen is currently Professor in Chemical Engineering and Head of Department. Prior to joining UCL, she spent one year at the Centre for Process Systems Engineering at Imperial College London as a postdoctoral researcher. Eva Sørensen is a member of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering (EFCE) Working Party on Fluid Separations (Chair 2007-2013) and she was previously a member of the EFCE's Executive Board (2011-2017). Her research focuses on fluid separations in chemical engineering, emphasizing the use of advanced modelling and optimization techniques to achieve optimal design and operation, particularly in fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Her work aims to enhance productivity and reduce environmental impact by exploring all design possibilities, with experimental verification conducted at UCL or through collaborations with industry and other researchers.Mirko Skiborowski holds a Dipl-Ing. in Computational Engineering Science (2009) and a Dr.-Ing. (PhD) in Process Systems Engineering (2015), both received from RWTH Aachen University. He received the EFCE Excellence Award on Computer-Aided Process Engineering (CAPE) in 2018 and was leading a research group on Process Synthesis and Intensification at the Laboratory of Fluid Separations of Andrzej Górak at TU Dortmund University until 2019. Since 2020 he is heading the Institute of Process Systems Engineering at Hamburg University of Technology. His research focuses on the interface of Process Systems Engineering and Process Intensification, with specific emphasis on distillation, hybrid and reactive separation processes, as well as innovative contacting equipment for the development of energy-efficient, economic, and sustainable processes.
