Chemical engineering design is in a constant state of flux. From advances in the practice of separation operations in chemical engineering to corresponding changes in the curriculum, much has happened in the seven years since the publication of Seader and Henley's first edition of Separation Process Principles, including: (1) advances in the fundamentals of mass, heat, and momentum transport, (2) wide availability of computer programs to facilitate the application of mathematical models to a wide range of separation operations, (3) increasing interest in separations involving the solid phase, and (4) changes in the practice of chemical engineering to emphasize product design as well as process design. This second edition reflects these changes.
Highlights of the second edition
- Chapter on crystallization, including thermodynamic and transport aspects, the MSMPR crystallizer model, and treatments of screen analysis, desublimation, and evaporation
- Chapter on drying of solids, including treatments of psychrometry and several dryer mathematical models
- Chapter on leaching of solids, including a discussion of the espresso machine
- Substantial new sections on ultrafiltration and microfiltration, including detailed examples
- Added section on simulated-moving-bed adsorption, including detailed examples
- Expansion of the treatment of batch distillation to include optimal control
- New sections on hybrid systems and membrane cascades
- Now includes 214 examples and 649 homework exercises

 A keeper! Feb 12, 2000
I thouroughly enjoy reading this book. The first chapters set up a framework for separations technologies. The rest of the book adds the important details. The first three chapters provide an excellent review of thermodynamics and mass transfer. In fact, I finally understood fugacity and how to estimate activity from equations of state after reading this book. The authors also incorporate principles of energy conservation not found in similar books. The topics include emmerging technologies in reactive distillation, membranes, and adsporption. Many HW problems are set-up for solution on process simulators. There are several chapters on advanced separations that will make this a valuable resource for lif-long learning. I wish I could have access to the chapters on solids processing - if they are anything like the rest of the book they would be useful. I will _NOT_ sell this book back at the end of the year. It's a keeper!

 Aspen heavy Jun 30, 2006
By J. Wester
"Former Student"
During my final year of undergrad coursework I used this textbook for my design courses. The good thing is Dr. Seader was the professor for my second design course. As a teacher I think he is great with an ability to effectively communicate theory and its practical application without getting caught up in the details. Unfortunately I felt this textbook tries to consolidate the knowledge he has gained in his career resulting in a very dense book. Some problems are solved using direct calculations but a large amount are done using Aspen (a program no one in my class had used) which I felt didn't adequately help develop sequential problem solving skills. The costing analysis theory is good but most of us used Peters & Timerhaus for homework. If you work with Aspen or want a detailed book this will satisfy your desires.

incredibly thorough, but difficult to wade through Oct 11, 2002
As my professor for this class put it, "the good news is that this book is incredibly thorough. the bad news is that it's incredibly thorough." tough for an introductory text on the subject, mainly because the notation is different from most other books i've used, and the style of writing is not quite as straightforward as could be hoped. if i could add one thing to this book, it would be a general overview in each chapter -- the authors just jump into each topic without introducing the bigger picture, so it's easy to wonder "why are we doing this calculation?" then again, maybe a professor could take that role during lecture. as another reviewer noted, this book does have an excellent review of thermo and mass transfer; it was only during this class that i started to really understand these two subects in any kind of depth.

 It gets no stars from me May 27, 2006
By joe
"hotspot"
My professor for separations was really smart, but like most chemical engineering professors that I have met, they are too smart for their own good. He chosed this book because it was "easy to understand".
Chemical engineering is hard enough, and the fact that this book is used in most separations classes does not help. Each chapter starts off with an industrial example, which is confusing if you're not familar with it already. The authors just throw out concepts that you've never heard before and assume you're an industry expert. As thorough as the book is, you won't feel like a better person after having read it. The authors don't seem to want to teach the subject but rather flaunt their knowledge. The most annoying thing is when the authors get to solving problems. They just start applying equation after equation and don't tell the readers where they get it from. Sometimes, it's not even an equation from that chapter or from the book!
I don't consider myself a bad student, but I seriously could not do most of the assigned problems at the end of the book. How do I become a chemical engineer then? I prefer McCabe's Unit Operations in Chemical Engineering. Although it is not as thorough, and the equations are presented differently, I actually learned something and was interested in the subject matter. The authors relate the theory to real life, and it actually makes sense. In fact, I had to use the McCabe to solve some of the problems from this hellish book.

You Should Own it Dec 22, 2008
By Waleed Almogheer
"Still a student in this life"
This is the core of someone whose seems to spent his life time in the field of separation processes, designing, modifying, and teaching. i am one of the students of Applied Chemical Engineering Part Time student and i had this book in my last semester @ JIC, it will diffidently help you very much in you career life ,too.
Thanks Professor Seader, and Ernest; for this great achievement a lot of students were lighted through your book.
