Sustainability in the Design, Synthesis and Analysis of Chemical Engineering Processes

Sustainability in the Design, Synthesis and Analysis of Chemical Engineering Processes is an edited collection of contributions from leaders in their field.

It takes a holistic view of sustainability in chemical and process engineering design, and incorporates economic analysis and human dimensions.

Ruiz-Mercado and Cabezas have brought to this book their experience of researching sustainable process design and life cycle sustainability evaluation to assist with development in government, industry and academia.

This book takes a practical, step-by-step approach to designing sustainable plants and processes by starting from chemical engineering fundamentals.

This method enables readers to achieve new process design approaches with high influence and less complexity.

It will also help to incorporate sustainability at the early stages of project life, and build up multiple systems level perspectives.

Ruiz-Mercado and Cabezas’ book is the only book on the market that looks at process sustainability from a chemical engineering fundamentals perspective.
