Publisher's Synopsis
A knowledge of at least the fundamentals of chemical safety technology is indispensable for chemists and engineers working in chemical industry. In spite of the good safety records of chemical plants many people regard chemical production as dangerous because of a few major accidents that have occurred. The investigation of risks, and preventive measures to be taken to minimize the probability of an accident, as well as its consequences are explained. Safety Assessment for Chemical Processes covers topics in the field of chemical safety and chemical industry. In first chapter, an empirical test on the investment performance of chemical safety facilities will be implemented to talk about the cause of the chemical accidents happening frequently through analyzing the dynamic relationship between the investment and the performance of chemical safety facilities, using the time series data by VECM. In second chapter, the pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, antitumor efficacy and safety characteristics of liposome-based Lx2-32c were explored and compared with those of cremophor-based Lx2-32c.Third chapter presents a study suggests that some staphylococcal phages can be propagated on food-grade bacteria for biocontrol and safety purposes. Fourth chapter presents a new strategy for the synthesis of N-aminopiperidine (NAPP). Fifth chapter focuses on the immobilization of commercial inulinase on alginate. Sixth chapter presents a framework on particle handling techniques in microchemical processes. In seventh chapter the uses of magnetically recyclable nano-catalysts for a variety of organic reactions are described in conjunction with activation via microwave irradiation. Eighth chapter focuses on the development of a sustainable process for the production of polymer grade lactic acid. Ninth chapter proposes an EFC/PV/Battery based hybrid power generation system to meet 24-hour power demand. In tenth chapter a systematic methodology based on independent modules and its different stages to deal this problem is presented in detail. In eleventh chapter, an order-classifier was built to predict a series of toxic effects based on data concerning chemical-chemical interactions under the assumption that interactive compounds are more likely to share similar toxicity profiles. Twelfth chapter focuses on the approach of a hybrid process monitoring and fault diagnosis approach for chemical plants. Last chapter reviews some most frequently causes of distillation column malfunction. First, analysis of case histories will be discussed for providing guidelines in identifying potential trouble spots in distillation column. A dynamic simulation for operational failure is simulated as the basis for assessing the consequences.
