[×ÊÔ´] Fluoropolymer Applications in the Chemical Processing Industries:

By Sina Ebnesajjad, Pradip Khaladkar Publisher:   Plastics Design Library Number Of Pages:   572 Publication Date:   2004-12-15 ISBN-10 / ASIN:   0815515022 ISBN-13 / EAN:   9780815515029 Binding:   Hardcover This handbook is a self-contained collection of data and information on applications of fluoropolymers components for corrosion control in chemical processing industries. Because of their superior properties, fluoropolymers have been rapidly replacing metal alloys for preserving the purity of processing streams in the chemical processing, plastics, food, pharmaceutical, semiconductor, and pulp and paper industries. This complete compendium of information about fluoropolymer lining materials and structural piping and tubing contains problem-solving tools for chemical processing professionals: equipment manufacturers, plant operators, and product design and manufacturing engineers. Fluoropolymer Properties: Permeation and environmental stress cracking; detailed guidelines for selecting fluoropolymers for corrosion control. Fluoropolymer Components: Comprehensive information on the design, construction, manufacturing, fabrication and finishing technologies of fluoropolymer component parts of equipment exposed to harsh chemical environments. Diagnostic: Processing equipment operation and maintenance of the fluoropolymer components; laboratory techniques to determine the cause of the failure of parts, and a modelling methodology to predict and analyze failure. Economic: Cost analysis, safety, recycling, and global growth trends of the future of fluoropolymers components for corrosion control. References: This stand-alone volume is complete; no other reference is needed. However, many references are included in each chapter for more in-depth study of particular topics. Summary: The party line... Rating: 4 I congratulate the authors in bringing together a great deal of useful information yet the book is sadly defective. It appears to follow the company or DuPont party line. Failure analysis, for example, analyzes a PVDF lined spool piece. Guess what? DuPont does not produce Kynar or Solef PVDF. Further, the examples of successes are limited to only loyal DuPont resin users and fabricators. Important information was therefore left out. Maybe in a second edition the authors could strive for more balance. They could discuss more failures including their own company's products, though they mentioned several. Summary: Fluoropolymers Applications in Chemical Processing Industrie Rating: 5 Fluoropolymers Applications in Chemical Processing Industries is the continuation of a series intended to cover essentially all aspects of fluoropolymers. The previously published two books written by S. Ebnesajjad cover the science, technology and properties of fluoroplastics, such as non-melt processable PTFE (the original"Teflon"and melt-processable ones, such as PFA, FEP and others. The book's subtitle "The Definitive User's Guide and Databook" is just that.It contains a brief introduction to fluoropolymers, including history, fundamental properties and examples of uses. A large section of the publication describes fluoropolymers as materials of construction, particularly their behavior in corosive environment and their selection for corrosion control. Another one deals with manufacturing methods of parts from PTFE and melt-processible fluoroplastics. Other topics closely related to their use in the chemical processing industries are fabrication techniques, design and construction of linings and vessels, failure analysis and cost analysis. Another chapter is dedicated to safety, disposal, and recycling of fluoropolymers. The final chapter covers future trends in resin manufacturing, applications, in the growth of fluoropolymer industries and technological needs specific to the chemical processing industry. There is a total of five appendices, four of them contain a wealth of permeation data and one contains extensive chemical resistance data for a number of commercial fluoropolymers. Glossary of terms and trademark conclude this truly comprehensive work.
