Preface
The sector of fine chemicals, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, dyes and pigments,
fragrances and flavours, intermediates, and performance chemicals is growing fast. For obvious
reasons chemistry is a key to the ess in developing new processes for fine chemicals. However, as
a rule, chemists formulate results of their work as recipes, which usually lack important information
for process development. This book is intended to show what is needed to make the recipe more useful
for process development purposes and to transform the recipe into an industrial process that will be
safe, environmentally friendly, and profitable. The goal of the book is to form a bridge between
chemists and specialists of all other branches involved in the scale-up of new processes or
modification of existing processes with both a minimum effort and risk and maximum profit when
commercializing the process. New techniques for scale-up and optimization of existing processes and
improvements in the utilization of process equipment that have been developed in recent years are
presented in the book. We believe that even experienced process and developmental engineers will
find these interesting and useful in their every day practice.
The book starts with general information on fine chemicals and characteristic features of their
manufacture. Tools that are used in working out new industrial processes and optimization of existing
plants and processes are presented in subsequent chapters. Finally, the target of all laboratory, pilot
and design activities, namely a modern production plant, is described.
Fine chemicals have been produced for tens of years based upon anic chemistry
techniques that generate many wa
