The Mechanisms Involved in Process Intensification

A wide range of unit operations are capable of intensification. In this chapter some of the more important intensification techniques are briefly discussed, in order to prepare the reader for the more detailed treatment provided in subsequent chapters. Where appropriate, developments taking place after the writing of the first edition are included. It is particularly noticeable that there has been continuing and increasing activity in particular in the use of electric fields of all types, and in further scale reductions (micro- and now nano-scales).
