Gas Purification
- Book Review,
by Arthur L Kohl, Richard Nielsen
Book News, Inc.
For design and operation engineers describes process and equipment design, plant performance results, and other critical information. First published in 1960 and here updated from the 1985 edition with new material on nitrogen oxide control, regulatory requirements and available processes, absorption in physical solvents, and membrane permeation. Also gives more emphasis to areas of strong current interest, including liquid hydrocarbon treating, Claus plant tail gas treating, the thermal oxidation of volatile organic compounds, and sulfur scavenging processes. The price is $165 until January 31, 1998. -- Copyright © 1999 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR All rights reserved

Book Description
This massively updated and expanded fifth edition is the most complete, authoritative engineering treatment of the dehydration and gas purification processes used in industry today. Of great value to design and operations engineers, it gives practical process and equipment design descriptions, basic data, plant performance results, and other detailed information on gas purification processes and hardware. This latest edition incorporates all significant advances in the field since 1985.
You will find major new chapters on the rapidly expanding technologies of nitrogen oxide control, with discussions of regulatory requirements and available processes; absorption in physical solvents, covering single component and mixed solvent systems; and membrane permeation, with emphasis on the gas purification applications of membrane units. In addition, new sections cover areas of strong current interest, particularly liquid hydrocarbon treating, Claus plant tail gas treating, thermal oxidation of volatile organic compounds, and sulfur scavenging processes.
This volume brings you expanded coverage of alkanolamines for hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide removal, the removal and use of ammonia in gas purification, the use of alkaline salt solutions for acid gas removal, and the use of water to absorb gas impurities. The basic technologies and all significant advances in the following areas are thoroughly described: sulfur dioxide removal and recovery processes, processes for converting hydrogen sulfide to sulfur, liquid phase oxidation processes for hydrogen sulfide removal, the absorption of water vapor by dehydrating solutions, gas dehydration and purification by adsorption, and the catalytic and thermal conversion of gas impurities.
