Separation Process Principles,Second Edition presents a unified treatment of rate-based and equilibrium-based approaches to understanding, design, and evaluation of processes involving the separation of chemical mixtures. After initial chapters on a survey of separation operations, phase equilibria based on rigorous thermodynamics, and diffusion and mass transfer, as well as the need for close attention to separation equipment configuration, the book systematically proceeds through the separation operations, covering theory and applications, beginning with those separations that involve liquid and vapor phases, namely absorption, stripping, distillation, liquid-liquid extraction, enhanced distillation, supercritical extraction, and batch distillation. Initially, graphical methods are developed that permit visualization of the separation path. This is followed by algebraic methods that are more widely applicable and are of two types: (1) approximate that are solved analytically, and (2) rigorous that are solved numerically, usually with the use of a computer-aided process simulator or mathematical software. Next, membrane and adsorption separations are treated, with emphasis on a rate-based approach. This text concludes with leaching, crystallization, and drying, in three new chapters, where a solid phase is created or undergoes compositional changes.
Each chapter begins with a statement of instructional objectives and concludes with a summary of topics covered. Included in the 18 chapters are detailed solutions to 214 examples. A total of 649 homework exercises are provided.
