Separation Process Principles, 3rd Edition Description
Separation Process Principles, 3rd Edition is the most comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of the major separation operations in the chemical industry. This third edition is renamed Separation Process Principles -- Chemical and Biochemical Operations to reflect the inclusion of bioseparations in several chapters. Extraordinary advances that are being made in the biological fields could significantly help solve world problems in the energy, environmental, and health areas. To help provide instruction in the important bioseparations area, a new author has been added for this edition, D. Keith Roper, who has extensive industrial and academic experience in bioseparations. Separation Process Principles, 3rd Edition provides review chapters on thermo and mass transfer, comprehensive discussion of many separation processes, photos, diagrams, and descriptions of process equipment, and challenging, realistic problems. Improved clarity, study questions, and boxed equations and examples in this 3rd edition are especially helpful for students encountering separation processes for the first time. Separation Process Principles, 3rd Edition prepares students for professional practice, and is a reference theyll value as practicing engineers.

This textbook is riddled with typos in crucial formulae and otherwise written in an extremely unclear fashion, where simple concepts are explained in an unnecessarily complicated manner. The parameters and assumptions for chapter problems are stated extremely unclearly. Seader, Henley, and Roper, your insistence on the widespread use of misplaced modifiers renders this textbook absolutely unsuitable for an introduction to separation processes. One might expect that three editions would have given the authors and editors enough time and experience to address these issues, but one would be disappointed. I would not recommend this text to any chemical engineer. Shame on Wiley for producing such an incompetent product.

This one is par for the course. It contains formulae and examples that fit well with the lectures. It covers the basics or separations from absorbers and strippers. Though it is a good companion to my teacher's lectures, he also puts up supplemental notes that go into more detail. All told, this book is an acceptable companion, but not something so brilliant that I could read it and skip class and still feel even remotely comfortable on the test.
