Chemical Engineering- Towards Sustainability and Intensification

 Advances in chemical engineering are focused on intensification of reactions, unit operations and mechanical operations. Intensification facilitates reduction in cost, size and increase in conversion, separation and selectivity. In case of distillation, reactive distillation can reduce energy cost and increase product quality considerably compared to conventional reactor- separator method. Similar advantages can be considered for reaction adsorption and other reactive separations. 

Use of non-renewable energy sources can reduce burden on conventional feed stocks and reduce carbon foot prints. Nano materials are gaining importance due to their unique properties. Application of nanomaterial for process intensification is being explored in mass transfer, heat transfer and reaction engineering. 

The composition of flue gases depends on raw material and process. It is important to have adequate knowledge of these aspects while selecting treatment methods. Various chemical conversion methods are effective for the treatment of flue gases. The recovery of components from flue gases involves adsorption, absorption, stripping, and desorption methods.

 This book contains one chapter on food adulteration also. Food adulteration is very increasing and dangerous phenomenon. It is being practiced from ancient times. Adulteration for maximizing profit is very commonly practiced unethical practice. There is need for increasing moral and ethical values. There is need for people friendly methods for analysing or at least identification of adulterations. Also use of branded items can minimize harms due to adulteration.

The chapters in this book are focused on non-renewable energy (chapters 1, 5, 9), water treatment and recycle (chapters 4, 10, 11, 12), use of advanced materials for catalysts (chapters 2, 3, 13), flue gas heat recovery (14), Intensification of unit operations (5, 6, 7, 8) and adulteration in food products.

Understanding Pubs - Decoding the Spaces We Love

Going out after a day of stress or during the weekends has never been a more integral part of human history, or at least that is what we think now. On the contrary, pubs have been around for a very long time, functioning as the pivoting point for communities and socializing. Casual and welcoming these spirited social spaces have evolved into what we see now as ‘PUBS’. Once humble places with the sole intention to provide basic alcoholic beverages with a skewed food offering they have now been transformed into their new polished, glossy, gourmet avatars. Looking at the historical aspects and tracking its evolution through the changing markets and preferences adds a fresh perspective of differentiating them from Bars & Restaurants. 

Creating a pub is a meticulous affair with many design, market, and business considerations. The book aims to ease the process of ‘Understanding Pubs’ by highlighting the concept of such a distinct space with various requirements and a clear focus on setting up some standards that can be handpicked in various permutations to result in a pub space that people are going to love coming to, repeatedly. The further decoding of the elements necessary to execute these spaces from a design point of view i.e. elements and themes, space planning, technical considerations, business considerations, etc. will be value addition.
