Ferhan Sami Atalay Environmental pollution occurs as a result of uncontrolled discharge of waste materials, which are released as a result of human activities and which are not evaluated, to the receiving environment such as air, water and soil, and causes significant changes in the ecological balance of nature. The resulting global environmental problems such as climate change, desertification, loss of biodiversity, deforestation, destruction of the ozone layer endanger the sustainability of the environment, and pose significant threats to the health, survival, food and water resources of humans and other living species.
Maintaining a healthy life is only possible with a healthy environment. For a healthy environment, the natural balance, that is, the protection of the ecosystem, is only possible with the control of environmental pollution.
This book has been prepared in order to give the necessary processes and design principles for the treatment of wastes that cause air, water and soil pollution as a result of production and consumption activities, and solutions of problems and design examples are given for a better understanding of treatment/disposal process designs.

Ferhan Sami Atalay The reactor, the apparatus in which the reactions take place, provides the required volume or the required amount of catalyst for the reaction. Reactors should also be equipped to ensure proper temperature and concentration distribution. For this reason, the selection and design of the reactor should be made considering the ideal conditions and the economic, safe and environmentally friendly operation of the plant.
reactor design; It is obtained from simultaneous solutions of equations (mostly differential equations) obtained by considering mass and energy balances, chemical kinetic (reaction rate expression, etc.) information together.
Many accidents in industry result from poor design and operation of the chemical reactor. Therefore, a reactor should be designed under realistic conditions. In the design, not only the reactor dimensions and the design results such as the number of pipes should be considered, but also the transfer of heat energies to be taken / given in the reactor, the selection and design of the mixer in liquid reactors, the mechanical design of the reactor, safety measures and process control systems should also be designed. Since reactor safety and controllability problems will arise especially in exothermic and irreversible reactions, both the control systems and the discharge systems of the reactor should be designed very well in this type of reactors.
In the book; Basic information about mechanical design, control and safety systems in reactors is presented and industrially used batch reactor, continuously fed stirred tank reactor, piston flow fixed bed and multi-tube reactor, fluidized bed reactor, bubbling liquid-gas phase reactor and furnace reactor where thermal molecule fragmentation is performed. By giving the design principles of different types of industrial reactors, examples of their applications in this industry are given.
The examples listed below are selected from the semester projects prepared by my graduate students who took the Analysis of Chemical Reactor course that I taught at the Department of Chemical Engineering at Ege University.
• Batch Tank Reactor Design in Bioethanol Production

Ferhan Sami ATALAY Mass and energy balances play an important role in the analysis and design of processes involving physical and biological changes. As a result, courses covering the basic principles and applications of mass-energy balances are included in chemistry, food and bioengineering education programs.
The basic concepts of process control, which play a critical role in both product quality and safe operation of the facility in the industry, are also derived from mass-energy balances.
In this book, the basic concepts of mass and energy balances are given and their applications in industries involving physical, chemical and biological changes are presented with many examples.
In the first part of the book, processes and process variables are defined, the concept of degrees of freedom and problem solving techniques are given. In the second and third chapters, by giving the basic concepts of mass and energy balances for steady state, many examples are presented about their applications in chemical plants and especially in bioprocesses.

Ferhan Sami Atalay Combining reaction kinetics with reactor design, Reaction Engineering provides the information necessary for the design and operation of the reactor required for the production of many chemicals.
The reactor is the device where the reactions are carried out and constitutes the most important process of the chemical plant. The economical, safe and environmentally friendly operation of the plant is highly dependent on the selection and design of the reactor.
Reactor design is obtained from simultaneous solutions of equations (mostly differential equations) obtained by considering mass and energy balances, chemical kinetic (reaction rate expression, etc.) information together. As a result, in the design of a reactor, first of all, it is necessary to know the reactor type and the rate expressions of the reactions occurring in the reactor.
Different products can be produced from the same reagents by using different catalysts. Therefore, the development of catalysts in reaction engineering is also a very important issue. The most important feature of the catalyst is that it increases the reaction rate considerably compared to the case when the catalyst is not used.
On the other hand, the designs of bioreactors, which include biochemical reactions using enzymes and microorganisms, are also among the important issues in reaction engineering.
In this book, which was written with the aim of giving the basic principles of Reaction Engineering:
• Equilibrium in chemical reactions, determination of reaction rate, reaction efficiency and selectivity,
• Preparation of catalysts, determination of their properties, rate limiting steps in catalytic reactions, effects of internal and external mass transfers in catalytic reactions, deactivation of catalysts,
• Selection criteria and designs of chemical reactors,
• Biochemical reactions, enzyme and microbial kinetics, mass transfer processes in biochemical reactions and bioreactor design,
• Matlab and Polymath applications in Reaction Engineering
and the necessary information for reactor design is presented to the reader with sample problems.
