In recent years, many learning institutions felt the benefits of one or more technically-related courses such as petrochemicals in their chemistry and chemical engineering curricula. More than forty years ago, Lewis Hatch pioneered such an effort by offering a course in "Chemicals from Petroleum" at the University of Texas. Shortly thereafter, the ter...

The controller and its quantitative interaction with the system will not be covered in this text. Numerous books have been written about this, and most chemical engineering curricula have a course that is devoted solely to the topic. 

Instruments favoring the standardization of chemical engineering curricula quickly multipled after 1921. First of all, a textbook based on unit operations was needed. Principles of Chemical Engineering written by W. H. Walker, W. K. Lewis, and W. H. McAdams appeared in 1923. Two years later, the first list of accredited institutions was drawn up, and its impact must have been rather great since its main characteristic was strict selectivity. Only fourteen universities shared the honor of appearing in the select list of AIChE. This policy was not a... 

The many uses of solvent extraction make the subject important for university students of chemistry and chemical technology. Some universities offer special courses in solvent extraction, whereas others include it as a minor topic in more comprehensive courses. Pilot-scale experiments on solvent extraction are common in chemical engineering curricula. Because of the breadth of the subject, the treatment in such courses is often scanty, and a satisfactory text is difficult to find in a form suitable for use directly with students.
