Novel Process Windows: Innovative Gates to Intensified and Sustainable Chemical Processes

This book introduces the concept of novel process windows, focusing on cost improvements, safety, energy and eco–efficiency throughout each step of the process. The first part presents the new reactor and process–related technologies, introducing the potential and benefit analysis. The core of the book details scenarios for unusual parameter sets and the new holistic and systemic approach to processing, while the final part analyses the implications for green and cost–efficient processing. With its practical approach, this is invaluable reading for those working in the pharmaceutical, fine chemicals, fuels and oils industries.
