Volume 1: The text comprehensively discusses the transport mechanism, storage, and conveying of the material, which are essential requirements for transporting solids in various process units, especially in mineral and chemical industries. It covers the properties of particles and particulate systems and focuses on their characterization and analysis.This book:Presents a discussion of theoretical principles coupled with illustrative examples to help readers learn how to operate, optimize, and innovate particle processing technologies. Covers transport characterization of the solid-fluid operations, slurry physical properties, and properties of particles. Illustrates systematic and comprehensive understanding of fundamental phenomena of properties of particles and handling of particulate systems. Explains graphical representation of particle size, particle size measurement, and particle size distribution.Includes ancillary material such as numerical problems, review questions, multiple choice questions, and exercises at the end of each chapter.It is primarily written for senior undergraduates, graduate students, and academic researchers in fields including chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, environmental engineering, industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering, and chemistry.Volume 2:The text thoroughly discusses the fundamentals of flow resistance over a solid body, the frictional resistance of flow through a granular bed, and the flow phenomena of particles, which are essential requirements for solid-fluid operations in various process units, especially in mineral and chemical industries. It elucidates the fundamentals of drag force on a solid, terminal velocity of the particle, sedimentation, slurry mixing, fluidization phenomena, and froth flotation.This book:Presents a discussion of theoretical principles and illustrative examples to help readers learn how to operate, optimize, and innovate particle processing technologies. Covers the fundamentals of drag force on a solid, terminal velocity of the particle, and sedimentation (hindered settling).Explain the basic law and terminology of fluid flow through a granular bed, mixing characteristics in an agitator, and its standard design.Illustrates systematic and comprehensive understandings of the fundamental phenomena of fluidization and the basic principles and kinetics of froth flotation.Includes ancillary material such as numerical problems, review questions, multiple choice questions, and exercises at the end of each chapter.It is primarily written for senior undergraduates, graduate students, and academic researchers in chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, environmental engineering, industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering, and chemistry.Volume 3:The text presents fundamental principles and analysis of the separation of particulate matter. Analysis and reduction of air pollution involve a variety of technical disciplines. The effective way to control air pollution is to prevent the release of pollutants at the source. The treatment can involve intimately contacting the effluent gases with liquids or solids capable of selectively removing gaseous pollutants or, in the case of particulate contaminants, directing the effluent flow through a device in which the particles are captured on surfaces.This book:Introduces the principle of separation methods of particulate matter (PM), common control equipment of PM, and collection or removal efficiency of the equipment.Describes the concept of separation of particles by sieving/screening, the basic principles of screening equipment, and the screen's effectiveness.Present the fundamental theories of removing particulate and gaseous pollutants from effluent streams by pollution control operations, such as gravitational (gravity chambers) and centrifugal deposition (cyclone separator), electrostatic precipitation, filtration, and wet scrubbing and covers fundamental principles of membrane separation, membrane modules, process design, applications, and governing equations of plate and frame filter press and rotary drum filter.Deals with the basic understanding of reverse osmosis and its theoretical analysis by different total flux and capacity models and explains the basic understanding of adsorption onto the solid surface and their isotherm and kinetics.Includes ancillary material such as numerical problems, review questions, multiple choice questions, and exercises at the end of each chapter.It is primarily written for senior undergraduates, graduate students, and academic researchers in chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, environmental engineering, industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering, and chemistry.

Slurry bubble column reactors are intensively used as a multiphase reactor in the chemical, biochemical, and petrochemical industries for carrying out reactions and mass transfer operations in which a gas, made up of one or several reactive components, comes into contact or reacts with a liquid. This volume describes the hydrodynamics of three-phase gas-liquid-solid flow in a downflow slurry bubble column. The efficiency of the downflow gas interacting system is characterized by the self-entrainment of secondary gas. The book covers the gas entrainment phenomena, gas holdup characteristics, pressure drop, gasliquid mixing characteristics, bubble size distribution, interfacial phenomena, and the mass transfer phenomena in the downflow slurry system.This volume will be useful in chemical and biochemical industries and in industrial research and development sectors, as well as in advanced education courses in this area. The book will be helpful for further understanding the multiphase behavior in gas interacting multiphase systems for research and development. The hydrodynamic and mass transfer characteristics discussed will be useful in the design and installation of the modified slurry bubble column in industry for specific applications.
