Berthouex P.M., Brown L.C. Pollution Prevention and Control: Part II. Material and Energy Balances

Bookboon, 2014. — 307 p. — ISBN: 978-87-403-0773-3.This book explains the two fundamental tools for process analysis and design - the material balance and the energy balance. A material balance is needed for virtually every pollution prevention and control problem. A material balance and an energy balance are needed when accounting for the use and flow of energy. Twenty five case studies and 85 examples explain how these tools are used in a variety of air, water, wastewater, and solid waste management problems. Students will learn about these areas of engineering while mastering the design tools, and be introduced to some fundamental concepts for chemical and biological reactions, material separations, and economic evaluations.The Fundamentals of Design
