Bioprocess Engineering: Kinetics Sustainability and Reactor Design Second Edition provides
a comprehensive resource on bioprocess kinetics bioprocess systems sustainability and
reaction engineering. Author Dr. Shijie Liu reviews the relevant fundamentals of chemical
kinetics batch and continuous reactors biochemistry microbiology molecular biology
reaction engineering and bioprocess systems engineering also introducing key principles that
enable bioprocess engineers to engage in analysis optimization and design with consistent
control over biological and chemical transformations. The quantitative treatment of
bioprocesses is the central theme in this book with more advanced techniques and applications
being covered in depth. This updated edition reflects advances that are transforming the field
ranging from genetic sequencing to new techniques for producing proteins from recombinant DNA
and from green chemistry to process stability and sustainability. The book introduces
techniques with broad applications including the conversion of renewable biomass the
production of chemicals materials pharmaceuticals biologics and commodities medical
applications such as tissue engineering and gene therapy and solving critical environmental
problems.
