Biochemical Reaction Engineering

This textbook comprehensively covers fundamental and advanced aspects of biochemical engineering along with MATLAB codes. It comprehensively covers important topics including enzyme catalyzed reaction kinetics, catalytic antibodies and non-protein biomolecules as catalysts, process flow diagram (PFD), piping & instrumentation diagram (P&ID), wastewater treatment processes, design of fermenters and mass and energy balance. Pedagogical features including solved problems and unsolved exercises are interspersed throughout the text for better understanding. This book: Provides solid foundation and understanding of the fundamental principles of mathematics, science, and engineering. Explores tools for solving theoretical and open-ended biochemical engineering problems Covers principles of downstream process and biochemical engineering principles with illustration and problems Discusses application of computer and programming in biochemical engineering Covers case studies for bioprocess plant design. The textbook is primarily written for senior undergraduate and graduate students in the fields of chemical engineering, biotechnology, and food process engineering for courses on biochemical engineering/bioprocess engineering/downstream processing.
