In this valuable volume, new and original research on various topics on chemical engineering and technology is presented on modeling and simulation, material synthesis, wastewater treatment, analytical techniques, and microreactors. The research presented here can be applied to technology in food, paper and pulp, polymers, petrochemicals, surface coatings, oil technology aspects, among other uses. The book is divided into five sections:modeling and simulation environmental applicationsmaterials and applicationsprocesses and applicationsanalytical methodsTopics include: modeling and simulation of chemical processesprocess integration and intensificationseparation processes advances in unit operations and processeschemical reaction engineeringfuel and energyadvanced materialsCFD and transport processeswastewater treatmentThe valuable research presented here will be of interest to researchers, scientists, industry practitioners, as well as upper-level students.

Due to increasing demand for potable and irrigation water, new scientific research is being conducted to deal with wastewater from a variety of sources. Novel Water Treatment and Separation Methods: Simulation of Chemical Processes presents a selection of research related to applications of chemical processes for wastewater treatment, separation techniques, and modeling and simulation of chemical processes.Among the many topics are: degradation of herbicideremoval of anionic dyeefficient sun-light driven photocatalysisremoval of copper and iron using green activated carbondefluoridation of drinking waterremoval of calcium and magnesium from wastewater using ion exchange resinsdegradation of vegetable oil refinery wastewaternovel separation techniques, including microwave-assisted extraction and moreThe volume presents selected examples in wastewater treatment, highlighting some recent examples of processes such as photocatalytic degradation, emulsion liquid membrane, novel photocatalyst for degradation of various pollutants, and adsorption of heavy metals. The book goes on to explore some novel separation techniques, such as microwave-assisted extraction, anhydrous ethanol through molecular sieve dehydration, batch extraction from leaves of Syzygium cumini (known as jambul, jambolan, jamblang or jamun), and reactive extraction. These novel separation techniques have proved be advantageous over conventional methods.The volume also looks at modeling and simulation of chemical processes, including chapters on flow characteristics of novel solid-liquid multistage circulating fluidized bed, mathematical modeling and simulation of gasketed plate heat exchangers, optimization of the adsorption capacity of prepared activated carbon, and modeling of ethanol/water separation by pervaporation, along with topics on simulation using CHEMCAD software. The diverse chapters share and encourage new ideas, methods, and applications in ongoing advances in this growing area of chemical engineering and technology. It will be a valuable resource for researchers and faculty and industrialists as well as for students.
