Chemical engineering. Volume two: Unit operations

Introducing Chemical Engineering Undergraduates to Bioprocessing through the Unit Operations Laboratory

In response to the recent biotechnology boom, many chemical engineering departments have recognized the need to incorporate biology, biochemistry, and bioprocessing into the undergraduate curriculum. Since curriculum changes can often be difficult to implement, departments must develop innovative problems, projects, and laboratory experiments illustrating bio-principles that can be incorporated...

Virtual Laboratory Course in Chemical Engineering and Unit Operations (VIPRATECH) Tutorial Simulations and Remote Process Control

Being part of the major project “Vernetztes Studium Chemie” VIPRATECH aims at developing Internet based teaching aids to provide the means for a virtual laboratory course in chemical engineering and unit operations. With VIPRATECH students and other people have the possibility to inform themselves about the theoretical background and the experimental setup before going ahead with the experiment...

Computerization of Unit Operations and Measurements in Classical Chemical Analysis

The exponential way in which digital hardware is developing has considerable impact on the concepts of laboratory instrumentation and automation. Automation in the laboratory not only relieves the experimenter from the tedious acquisition of data, lengthy calculations, drawing of graphs, etc., but in many cases enables higher precision in measurements and the optimization of procedures with reg...

Critical Technologies for Unit Operations

One of the principal goals guiding unit-ops technology development is that of reducing the cyclical or batch character of mining, making a mine operate more like a refinery. With few exceptions, unit-ops technologies in use today at mine sites in the United States will be in use in 2020. Technology changes that are being implemented are incremental and typically focus on increasing batch size, ...
