“Chemical products shape nearly every aspect of modern life—from fertilizers that fuel global agriculture to polymers, pharmaceuticals, and industrial gases essential to manufacturing and healthcare. Engineering of Chemical Products offers a comprehensive and accessible exploration of the principles, innovations, and applications that define this vital discipline.
Structured for students, educators, and professionals alike, this textbook begins with a historical overview of the chemical industry’s evolution and the foundational concepts of chemical engineering. It then moves into cutting-edge developments, including bioengineering, membrane technologies, polymer science, and advanced materials like ceramics and elastomers.
Clear explanations and real-world examples illuminate complex topics such as process design, product development, and safety protocols. The book also tackles important societal issues, including the regulation of chemical weapons and the environmental impact of agrochemicals and industrial processes.
Each chapter is enriched with exercises to reinforce learning, while detailed case studies and global perspectives highlight the relevance of chemical product engineering across diverse sectors and regions. Whether you’re preparing for a career in chemical engineering or deepening your knowledge of industrial processes, this book provides both the theoretical grounding and practical insights needed to understand and shape the chemical products of tomorrow.
