Separation Process Principles, 2nd edition reflects the changes that have taken placed since the publication of the previous edition, including:

• advances in the fundamentals of mass, heat, and momentum transport
• wide availability of computer programs to facilitate the application of mathematical models to a wide range of separation operations
• increasing interest in separations involving the solid phase
• changes in the practice of chemical engineering to emphasize product design as well as process design

Highlights of the second edition:

• Chapter on crystallization, including thermodynamic and transport aspects, the MSMPR crystallizer model, and treatments of screen analysis, desublimation, and evaporation
• Chapter on drying of solids, including treatments of psychrometry and several dryer mathematical models
• Chapter on leaching of solids, including a discussion of the espresso machine
• Substantial new sections on ultrafiltration and microfiltration, including detailed examples
• Added section on simulated-moving-bed adsorption, including detailed examples
• Expansion of the treatment of batch distillation to include optimal control
• New sections on hybrid systems and membrane cascades
• Now includes 214 examples and 649 homework exercises
