Enables readers to use plasma technology in the ammonia and NOx production process for greater efficiency, resiliency, and sustainability Bridging the gap between chemistry, physics, and engineering, Plasma-Assisted Nitrogen Fixation for Sustainable Process Industries provides in-depth insights into plasma-assisted nitrogen fixation, plasma technology, plasma reactors, and ammonia and NOx production, covering fundamental principles, advanced topics, economic viability, and emerging trends. Real-world applications and case studies are included throughout to elucidate key concepts and help readers put theory into practice in order to increase efficiency, sustainability, and industrial resilience. Plasma-Assisted Nitrogen Fixation for Sustainable Process Industries discusses: Reactor designs and industrial feasibility, including decentralized production to make nitrogen fixation accessible to remote areas and smaller-scale operationsThe Haber-Bosch process and its limitations and alternatives and plasma generation, ionization, and applicationsPlasma-assisted NOx synthesis with a focus on reaction pathways, energy efficiency, and the role of catalystsCutting-edge innovations such as microplasma technology, plasma-liquid interactions for nitrogen fixation, and plasma-electrochemistry for nitrate-to-ammonia conversionPlasma-based fertilizer applications and analytical methods in plasma diagnostics as a tool to enable innovation Plasma-Assisted Nitrogen Fixation for Sustainable Process Industries is an essential reference on the subject for engineers, plant managers, and decision-makers seeking to optimize their ammonia and NOx manufacturing processes.

Tiny devices with huge potential! New concepts of chemical synthesis have led to an increasing demand for miniaturization and more complex systems. Microreaction technology is a hot topic as it opens completely new possibilities for chemical engineering, combinatorial chemistry, and biotechnology. Small, inexpensive, independent, and versatile devices ensure many reactions achieve maximum selectivity, minimum waste, minimum investment, a better control of the process, safe manufacture and production on demand - to create a more efficient process. This book outlines the fabrication techniques of microfluidic components, unit operations of micro-chemical engineering and current world-wide activities. Requirements with respect to needs of the chemical industry have been included. Chemists, chemical engineers, biotechnologists, process engineers, microsystem technologists in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry and academia, as well as manufacturers of analytical instruments, will find this book a state-of- the-art review of this extremely interesting and rapidly developing field.
