Expert Details
Chemical Extraction, diffusion, mass transfer and separation processes.
ID: 107774
Minnesota, USA
Expert has written over 200 articles and five books, including Diffusion, Bioseparations, and Chemical Product Design. He is particularly expert on coupled mass transfer and chemical reaction.
Expert's consulting deals mainly with diffusion and separation, especially using membranes, and includes major studies of gas treating, extraction, and reactor scale-up. Because he is an exceptionally effective classroom teacher, Expert also teaches short courses on chemical engineering.
