Abstract

This review starts by introducing the Nano-scale, to readers uncommon to this scale, in comparison to more common scales. This is followed by introducing the meaning of nanotechnology and its evolution to Nano-engineering using System Theory (ST) and in comparison with the evolution of Chemical Technology to Chemical Engineering. After that a description of the application of nanotechnology is briefly presented. The paper finishes up with the production of Carbon Nano Tubes (CNTs), which is one of the important products for alloys and plastic composites. A short conclusions and prospective research is given at the end. Introduction: Nanotechnology is one of the hottest two subjects for chemical engineers; the second is Sustainable Development (SD). This paper is a review of one of the very few books about nanotechnology for chemical engineering. The size of the presentation dictates that the presentation be brief and summarizes everything and eliminate few parts and concentrates on the production of one of the important products which is the CNTs, this will cover production in fluidized bed using Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) catalyst. The presentation covers both experimental results as well as mathematical modeling of the units, and comparison between them to determine the unknown parameters. The mathematical model can be used for scaling up and also for design of other configurations; it also presents the principles for modeling and design of other nanotechnology processes. Further suggested research is also discussed. Brief Description of the book: The book describes the basic principles of transforming Nano-technology into Nano-engineering with a particular focus on chemical engineering fundamentals. It provides vital information about differences between descriptive technology and quantitative engineering in various fields of nanotechnology. The fundamentals of nanotechnology are also covered along with detailed explanation of several specific Nano scale processes from chemical engineering point of view. This information is presented in form of practical examples and case studies that help the engineers and researchers to integrate the processes which can meet the commercial production. It is worth mentioning here that, the main challenge in nanostructure and Nano devices production is nowadays related to the economic point of view. The uniqueness of this book is a balance between important insights into the synthetic methods of Nano-structures and nanomaterial and their applications with chemical engineering rules that educates the readers about Nano scale process design, simulation, modeling and optimization.
