Most chemical companies now devote new resources to the design and manufacture of specialty, high-value-added chemical products such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and electronic coatings. The training of chemical engineers has remained static, however, emphasizing traditional commodities. This ground breaking text redresses the balance between commodities and higher-value-added products. It expands the scope of chemical engineering design to encompass both process design and product design. The authors use a four-step procedure for chemical product design--needs, ideas, selection, manufacture--drawing numerous examples from industry to illustrate the discussion. Chemical engineering students and beginning chemical engineers will find this text an inviting introduction to chemical product design.

Review
"This new book by two distinguished chemical engineers gives us all hope. It is the first real text on ... chemical product design ... such a book would make a valuable addition." Chemical and Industry
"Chemical engineering students and beginning chemical engineers will find this text an inviting introduction to chemical product design. The book is also well worth the attention of many more than this audience. It renders a significant service for those in chemical product design in the chemical industry. This is an important book on current concerns, a pleasure and an education to read." Current Engineering Practice

Book Description
Over the last decade, the chemical industry has changed from the manufacture of bulk commodity chemicals such as fertilizers to the design and manufacture of specialty, high-value chemical products such as pharmaceuticals. Although the jobs held by chemical engineers have also changed, their training has remained static, emphasizing traditional commodities. This ground-breaking text reflects the new market needs. It expands the scope of chemical engineering design to encompass both process design and product design. Chemical engineering students and beginning chemical engineers will find this text an inviting introduction to chemical product design.
