This article continues a series of annual bibliographic updates of the publ
ished literature (since 1980) on distillation and other equilibrium-staged
separation processes (1-8). This paper provides a useful and quick referenc
e source to the 1999 journal literature (from the 50 most important chemica
l engineering journals) for researchers in this area. The following topics
are included:
Distillation theory and design methods
Distillation control and applications
Column design data
Absorption reactions, absorber design, and cooling towers
Liquid-liquid extraction
Supercritical extraction
A complete bibliographic listing of the chemical engineering journal litera
ture from 1959 to 1999 (with subsequent 6-month updates) is available on a
CD-ROM database (9) and full details can be obtained from the author.
