Features: Chemical process development is a comprehensive engineering technology course that spans from the formation of a chemical product or new process concept, through laboratory research, pilot-scale scaling-up, process design, technical and economic evaluation, and ultimately to industrial implementation. It is a broad field of integrated engineering technology. This book focuses on the common issues involved in chemical process development, including fundamental concepts of process development, scientific topic selection, laboratory research, process scaling-up, engineering economics, safety and environmental protection, process analysis and synthesis, intellectual property protection, and introduces basic knowledge of process design for presenting development results. The chemical industry has a significant impact on the human living environment. The introduction of green chemistry technology can broaden horizons and expand thinking. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students in chemical engineering and related disciplines, as well as a reference for engineering technicians, researchers, and teachers in chemical engineering, materials, environmental science, light industry, metallurgy, and other fields.
