Chemical micro process engineering [...] Fundamentals, modelling and reactions

Micro process engineering is approaching both academia and industry. With the provision of micro devices and systems by commercial suppliers, one main barrier for using these units has been eliminated. More and more they become familiar, thereby being one facet of the upheaval in chemical industry. This book focuses on processes rather than on devices: what is 'before' and 'behind' micro device fabrication. A comprehensive and detailed overview is given on: - A multi-faceted, hierarchic analysis of chemical micro process technology - Modelling and simulation of micro reactors - Liquid- and liquid/liquid-phase reactions - Gas/liquid reactions - Gas-phase reactions (heterogeneous catalysis) Content: Chapter 1 A Multi?Faceted, Hierarchic Analysis of Chemical Micro Process Technology: Sections 1.1–1.5 (pages 1–66): Chapter 1 A Multi?Faceted, Hierarchic Analysis of Chemical Micro Process Technology: Sections 1.6–1.9 (pages 66–124): Chapter 2 Modeling and Simulation of Micro Reactors: Sections 2.1–2.5 (pages 125–197): Chapter 2 Modeling and Simulation of Micro Reactors: Sections 2.6–2.9 (pages 197–256): Chapter 3 Gas?Phase Reactions: Sections 3.1–3.2 (pages 257–290): Chapter 3 Gas?Phase Reactions: Section 3.3 (pages 291–340): Chapter 3 Gas?Phase Reactions: Sections 3.4–3.8 (pages 340–377): Chapter 4 Liquid? and Liquid/Liquid?Phase Reactions: Section 4.1 (pages 379–418): Chapter 4 Liquid? and Liquid/Liquid?Phase Reactions: Section 4.2 (pages 418–448): Chapter 4 Liquid? and Liquid/Liquid?Phase Reactions: Sections 4.3–4.4 (pages 448–474): Chapter 4 Liquid? and Liquid/Liquid?Phase Reactions: Sections 4.5–4.8 (pages 475–510): Chapter 4 Liquid? and Liquid/Liquid?Phase Reactions: Sections 4.9–4.11 (pages 510–541): Chapter 4 Liquid? and Liquid/Liquid?Phase Reactions: Sections 4.12–4.14 (pages 541–576): Chapter 5 Gas/Liquid Reactions: Sections 5.1–5.3 (pages 577–619): Chapter 5 Gas/Liquid Reactions: Sections 5.4–5.7 (pages 620–655):

"Micro process engineering is approaching both academia and industry.
