Résumé
Until recently, the chemical industry has been dominated by
the manufacture of bulk commodity chemicals such as
benzene, ammonia, and polypropylene. However, over the last
decade a significant shift occurred. Now most chemical
companies devote any new resources to the design and
manufacture of specialty, high value-added chemical
products such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and electronic
coatings. Although the jobs held by chemical engineers have
also changed to reflect this altered business, their
training has remained static, emphasizing traditional
commodities. This ground-breaking text starts to redress
the balance between commodities and higher value-added
products. It expands the scope of chemical engineering
design to encompass both process design and product design.
The authors use a four-step procedure for chemical product
design - needs, ideas, selection, manufacture - drawing
numerous examples from industry to illustrate the
discussion. The book concludes with a brief review of the
economic issues. Chemical engineering students and
beginning chemical engineers will find this text an
inviting introduction to chemical product design.
