Mass-Transfer Operations, 3rd Edition is a recent version of the book written by Robert Ewald Treybal. It is a reference book aimed to help those professionals and students keen to gain deeper knowledge on this subject. The author has designed this book in such a way that it is suitable for course study or self-study. The techniques and principles of equipment design for the mass-transfer operations of chemical engineering are covered in Mass-Transfer Operations, 3rd Edition. The book is divided into several parts; each part dealing with the main subject of mass-transfer operations. The first part deals with diffusion and mass transfer, where the author talks about molecular diffusion in fluids, coefficients of mass-transfer, diffusion in solids, and interphase mass transfer. The second part covers the gas-liquid operations, which deals with the equipment used, humidification operations, gas absorption, and distillation. The third part is completely dedicated to liquid extraction, and the last part explores solid-fluid operations. In the last section, the author describes adsorption and ion exchange, drying, and leaching.     Robert Ewald Treybal is one of those lesser known authors, who is known for writing just a few, yet relevant books on a specific topic. He has written a few books for the McGraw-Hill Series in Chemical Engineering. One of the books is Mass-Transfer Operations, whose various editions have been published till date.
