Intensification of Sorption Processes

Intensification of Sorption Processes: Active and Passive Mechanisms introduces a number of selected, advanced topics in sorption processes/process intensification, covering both theoretical and applicable aspects. The first part of the book is devoted to the study of sorption processes based on active mechanisms, including ultrasonic, microwave, high-gravity, electrical and magnetic fields, while the second part covers passive mechanisms like nanostructures and nanofluids, membrane, supercritical fluids and sorption processes based on geometry design and equipment structure. The focus of the book is on key aspects of novel process intensification technologies (processes and equipment), i.e., absorption and adsorption, working principles, and design and applications. - Covers all developments in the field of active and passive mechanisms for sorption processes - Introduces basic principles of any intensified sorption process, along with details of equipment - Evaluates industrial upscaling, economic evaluation/justification, future opportunities and challenges for each sorption process

Mahmood Reza Rahimi is professor of chemical engineering and the founder and head manager at the Process Intensification Laboratory, Yasouj University, Ysouj, Iran. He teaches courses in advanced mass transfer, process intensification, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), multicomponent separation methods, mass transfer, and unit operation. His research interests encompass design, modelling and simulation of chemical processes, process intensification, synergy, nanotechnology, fluidized beds, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and multiphase flow. He obtained a PhD in chemical engineering in 2007.
