Distillation: Fundamentals and Principles - winner of the 2015 PROSE Award in Chemistry & Physics - is a single source of authoritative information on all aspects of the theory and practice of modern distillation, suitable for advanced students and professionals working in a laboratory, industrial plants, or a managerial capacity. It addresses the most important and current research on industrial distillation, including all steps in process design (feasibility study, modeling, and experimental validation), together with operation and control aspects. This volume features an extra focus on the conceptual design of distillation.

Sorensen, Eva
Eva Sørensen is currently Professor in Chemical Engineering and Head of Department. Prior to joining UCL, she spent one year at the Centre for Process Systems Engineering at Imperial College London as a postdoctoral researcher. Eva Sørensen is a member of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering (EFCE) Working Party on Fluid Separations (Chair 2007-2013) and she was previously a member of the EFCE's Executive Board (2011-2017). Her research focuses on fluid separations in chemical engineering, emphasizing the use of advanced modelling and optimization techniques to achieve optimal design and operation, particularly in fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Her work aims to enhance productivity and reduce environmental impact by exploring all design possibilities, with experimental verification conducted at UCL or through collaborations with industry and other researchers.
