2 edition, Wiley, 2008, Pages: 450, ISBN 047001427X
This textbook is a comprehensive introduction to the many concepts of this broad subject. Case studies are provided alongside real-life industrial applications illustrating the techniques and theory. This book will be essential reading for students of chemical engineering on particle technology courses. It will also be valuable supplementary reading for students of civil engineering, applied chemistry, physics, pharmaceutics, metallurgy and materials engineering.
For the second edition the original author, Martin Rhodes, has joined forces with other contributors. The text has been completely revised with new chapters added.
