Abraham\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Elsevier Science & Technology, United Kingdom\nImprint: Elsevier Science Ltd\nISBN-13: 9780444502155, 978-0444502155\nSynopsis\nThis book defines environmental reaction engineering principles, including reactor design, for the development of processes that provide an environmental benefit. With regard to pollution prevention, the focus is primarily on new reaction and reactor technologies that minimize the production of undesirable side-products (pollutants), but the use of reaction engineering as a means of treating wastes that are produced through other means is also [url] is a section on environmentally benign combustion. The three papers discuss methods of reducing the formation of PAHs and NOx, as well as other environmentally sensitive combustion products. The next section contains a collection of contributions that involve the use of a catalyst to support t.
