Theory and Design of Enzymatic and Fermentation Processes (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The second edition of Theory and Design of Enzymatic and Fermentation Processes covers the kinetics and design of enzymatic and fermentation processes both under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. It discusses microorganism biochemistry and metabolism concisely, and covers process design, oxygen and heat transfer and scale-up/scale-down topics systematically. The book includes over a hundred solved examples, questions and problems.

Features:

• Provides exclusive coverage of enzyme kinetics.
• Discusses pertinent aspects of the fermentation process, including kinetics, stoichiometry, mass balances and oxygen transfer.
• Explores oxygen transfer theory and its application to fermentation processes.
• Reviews stoichiometry and kinetics of fermentation processes.
• Includes computer simulations, homework problems, examples, PowerPoint slides and solutions manual.

This book can be a useful resource as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in chemical engineering, as well as for process engineers working with enzymatic and fermentation reactions.

Autorenporträt

Davide Dionisi is Professor of Chemical Engineering at University of Aberdeen, where he teaches Biochemical Engineering and Energy from Biomass for undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. He also teaches a CPD course on biological wastewater treatment and contributes to teaching chemical engineering design projects and to project supervision. He is co-ordinator of the MSc programmes in Renewable Energy Engineering and in Sustainable Product, Process and Energy Engineering. Before joining University of Aberdeen in 2012, Professor Dionisi worked as Lecturer for the School of Mathematical, Physical and Natural Sciences at Sapienza University, Rome, Italy, and as Process Engineer/Principal Process Engineer for Syngenta, Berkshire, UK.

Professor Dionisi's research focuses on biological processes for wastewater treatment and for waste valorisation, e.g. activated sludge, anaerobic fermentation and anaerobic digestion, including new processes to convert the organic matter into sustainable and renewable products, e.g. bioplastics, organic acids, hydrogen. Professor Dionisi has worked in over 20 research projects with a total funding of over £2m. He has published over 70 papers on peer-reviewed journals, 2 patents, 2 books as only author and has given invited lectures to many national and international conferences. Overall, Professor Dionisi's scientific outputs have received over 3,500 citations. Recently, the focus of Professor Dionisi's research has been about bringing the new processes he has developed together with his colleagues, which combine biological and chemical processes, closer to commercialisation.

Professor Dionisi is a Fellow of the IChemE (Institution of Chemical Engineers) and contributes to the IChemE magazine TCE (The Chemical Engineer). He also writes articles on LinkedIn on teaching and research matters.
