Opis

This book explains the underlying physics of foam fractionation, describes process intensification strategies, provides design guidance for plant-scale installations, contains the latest knowledge of foam fractionation transport processes, and presents a case study of the world’s largest commercial foam fractionation plant producing the food preservative Nisin. It capitalizes on the authors’ extensive practical experience of foam fractionation and allied processes to give process engineers, industrial designers, chemical engineers, academics, and graduate students a greater understanding of the mechanistic basis and real-world applications of foam fractionation.
