Features: This book explores environmentally friendly design of chemical processes from the perspective of green engineering, proposing a series of risk analysis and assessment methods for chemical processes. It provides practical tools for chemical engineers engaged in the development and design of chemical processes. It can serve as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in chemical engineering, environmental science, and related fields, as well as a reference for engineering and technical personnel involved in production and management in related industries.
The book is divided into three main parts:
Part 1 introduces environmental issues, hazard concepts, and environmental regulations;
Part 2 is the core of the book, offering a comprehensive analysis and evaluation of the environmental impact of chemical processes. It covers the fundamental properties of chemicals, unit operations, and overall process design, while also elucidating the environmental impact of chemical processes from an economic perspective;
Part 3 introduces life cycle assessment methods and industrial ecosystems, discussing green design issues for chemical processes on a broader scale.
