The book’s focus is on fundamental principles – it is designed for readers approaching this subject for the first time, presenting topics in a way that is simple enough to grasp yet rigorous enough to provide the tools needed for detailed analysis later. Theoretical concepts are interspersed with worked exercises, sufficient to bridge theory with practical case studies.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: IT;\"\u003eFabio Montagnaro is Professor in Chemical Plants. He obtained the Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering in the A.Y. 2001-02. His main scientific activities deal with: 1) thermochemical solar energy storage processes; 2) biomass thermo-conversion processes to produce energy vectors; 3) purification of gaseous streams from pollutants and greenhouse agents; 4) liquid–solid and gas–solid adsorption processes; 5) synthesis of innovative\/eco-sustainable binders; 6) re-use of solid wastes of different nature; 7) chemical processes in fluidised bed reactors; and 8) design and modelling of chemical reactors and plants. Member of scientific organisations, in the editorial board of peer-reviewed journals, chair of scientific conferences, he also authored for Springer Nature the textbook entitled “Sustainable Energy Production Using Solid Materials”.
