Separation Process Essentials provides an interactive approach for students to learn the main separation processes (distillation, absorption, stripping, and solvent extraction) using material and energy balances with equilibrium relationships, while referring readers to other more complete works when needed. Membrane separations are included as an example of non-equilibrium processes.

This book reviews and builds on material learned in the first chemical engineering courses such as Material and Energy Balances and Thermodynamics as applied to separations. It relies heavily on example problems, including completely worked and explained problems followed by "Try This At Home" guided examples. Most examples have accompanying downloadable Excel spreadsheet simulations. The book also offers a complementary website, http: //separationsbook.com, with supplementary material such as links to YouTube tutorials, practice problems, and the Excel simulations.

This book is aimed at second and third year undergraduate students in Chemical engineering, as well as professionals in the field of Chemical engineering, and can be used for a one semester course in separation processes and unit operations.

Industry Reviews

"This book is intended for use in teaching process separations to undergraduate students. The coverage includes distillation, gas absorption, stripping, extraction, and membrane separations. A companion internet site provides tutorials and other features that extend the content of the book. Lane (emer., Univ. of Alabama) has taught separation processes as well as having worked on pertinent projects in the corporate and national laboratory setting. This book addresses the fundamentals associated with such processes and how to design and specify the equipment to accomplish a separation. The book, along with the internet site (http://separationsbook.com/), may have particular value for individuals who want or need to learn about process separations without enrolling in a class. For students who are in a class, the book and supporting site may provide a helpful supplement to materials they already have in hand. A professor looking for a textbook should review both the book and the internet site. One of the book's important features is its emphasis on understanding "just the essentials." Information is provided on other separation books, but there are very few references to the literature on separations as published in journals. The index and sample problems are helpful, as are the many illustrative figures."
