High Pressure Chemical Engineering (Process Technology Proceedings)

Hardbound. This present volume contains the text of all contributions (oral and posters), except for the four invited papers, which were presented at the 3rd International Symposium on High Pressure Chemical Engineering on October 7-9, 1996. The symposium was divided into three major sections, namely
- Chemical reaction engineering
- Separation processes and phase equilibria
- Plant, apparatus, machinery, measurements, control.
Preface
During the annual Meeting of the EFCE-Working Party "High pressure technology"
held October 8, 1993, at Kaiseraugst, Switzerland, under the chairmanship of the
late Prof. Helmut Tiltscher, it was decided to hold the 3rd International Symposium
on High Pressure Chemical Engineering on October 7 - 9, 1996 at ETH in Zurich.
Here, the Institute of Process Engineering and Cryogenics (Proffs Rudolf von Rohr
and Trepp) have taken on the task of organizing the meeting.
The two previous conferences were held in 1984 and 1990 in Erlangen, Germany,
at a University with considerable impact on the promotion of this emerging
technology in industry. Following the Erlangen tradition the Zurich symposium is
also subdivided in three major sections, namely
Chemical reaction engineering
Separation processes and phase equilibria
Plant, apparatus, machinery, measurements, control
From the contributions offered, the papers section of the scientific committee has
chosen a number of more than 60 as oral and about an equal number for poster
presentations. This volume contains the text of all contributions (oral and posters)
which have reached us in time, except the four invited papers.
R.R. Emst: NMR, a powerful tool for the investigation of molecules and
materials at high and ambient pressure
P. G. Debenedetti: Materials processing with sUpercritical fluids
C. Suter: Competing through technology
G. Vetter: High pressure machinery- a permanent challenge for
engineers
For these an other form and way of publication will be used.
We are grateful to the lead scientists of this conference, experts in the area, for their
contributions in coordinating the evaluation of contributed papers and maintaining
the high quality of research papers in these proceedings. We especially acknowledge
the professional help of reviewers from all over the world for selection of
papers and suggestions for improvement of the content of accepted papers
published in the proceedings.
Finally, we greatly appreciate the cooperation provided by Drs Huub Manten-
Werker of Elsevier Science Publishers B.V. for her preparation of these fine
proceedings in a very timely manner.
