Taught me what my Professor didn't
This book is a must-have for anyone interested in Process Separations. While it does seem a bit distillation-heavy, the author does a very good job at deriving his formulas and explaining all the terms and concepts clearly. When I took this course in college, my professor was absolutely awful, and I was so glad to have this book to rely on. Now, as a senior in Chemical...

Full of Mistakes
I'm only 3 chapters into this book and the number of mistakes in it is appalling. The author consistently refers to the wrong equations, messes up derivations of essential equations (the operating line, for one), and is not very well written, either. It also is almost entirely about distillation. I will not be looking forward to the rest of the semester...

Don't waste your money,
This review is from: Equilibrium-Staged Separations (Hardcover)
An abomination. Clarified nothing. Obfuscated everything. Poorly illustrated. Sent me running to the library for alternate sources.

This review is from: Separation Process Engineering (2nd Edition) (Hardcover)
This book is a must-have for anyone interested in Process Separations. While it does seem a bit distillation-heavy, the author does a very good job at deriving his formulas and explaining all the terms and concepts clearly. When I took this course in college, my professor was absolutely awful, and I was so glad to have this book to rely on. Now, as a senior in Chemical Engineering, I find myself reaching for this book whenever I have a question about Separations, and I always find my answer.I haven't come across other Separations textbooks, so I can't compare this book to the market. However, I don't think you'll be disappointed if you're looking to learn the fundamentals, or brush up on your knowledge.

This review is from: Separation Process Engineering (2nd Edition) (Hardcover)
Well, I'm not done with the course, but the book so far is ok. It definitely is not the best book in the world when it comes to looking at the examples for hw help, but everything is there. Takes a lot of patiences to find it.

This is not the greatest book when it comes to explainations. It is extremely broad!

Almost perfect.,
This review is from: Separation Process Engineering (2nd Edition) (Hardcover)
If you really need to learn distillation, liquid-liquid extraction and other equilibrium-staged separations this is the book. Clear, straight and concise. Small printing mistakes can be easily overcome.

cheap, mistakes,
This review is from: Separation Process Engineering (2nd Edition) (Hardcover)
The book was cheap and is mostly really good, however I think the reason it was so cheap is that it actually has a fair number of mistakes that my friends' books dont have (they bought the same book from the bookstore)
