Industrial Centrifugation Technology by Leung, Wallace;

Rövid leírás:

The first comprehensive reference on all aspects of industrial centrifugation technology. This practical resource offers detailed coverage of fluid particle separation in centrifuges-examining equipment, selection, testing, and optimization for specific applications-from small-scale protein separations to large-scale industrial techniques involving batch and continuous feed sedimenting, as well as parallel filtering operations. Integrating theory with hands-on methods-many previously unpublished-Industrial Centrifugation Technology. Presents the principles, types (batch and continous feed) and applications of centrifugal sedimentation and filtration in a comprehensive and coherent manner. Discusses laboratory, pilot, and production tests. Illustrates the most appropriate and efficient methods for particular needs. Explains the dewatering of wastewater sludges to high cake dryness and classification of fine particles. Delineates the theory of centrifugal clarification, classification, degritting, cake compaction, and drainage. Furnishes invaluable case histories and trouble-shooting guideline and more!The author, a world-renowned expert on centrifugation, also provides a host of over 250 figures and tables to demonstrate the characteristics of each operating variable and design parameters and has limited the use of mathematical equations only to those essential. This incomparable work is an important day-today guide for all disciplines involving centrifugation including, chemical, mechanical, aerospace, electrical and electronics control, materials, and manufacturing engineers; plant managers, process engineers, production supervisors, operators, and technicians in industry and researchers in academics and upper-level undergraduate, graduate, and continuing-education students.
