Handbook of Chemical Reactors

Wladimir Reschetilowski
is Former Director of the Institute of Industrial Chemistry at the University of Technology Dresden, Germany. Having obtained his academic degrees from Technical University Leuna-Merseburg, he began his career working at the Leipzig University, continued it for DECHEMA (Society for Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, Frankfurt/M.) as the Head of the Department of Technical Chemistry before taking up the Full Professor at the University of Technology Dresden. His work focuses on chemical reaction engineering, heterogeneous catalysis, and the history of chemistry. In particular, his research interests include zeolite catalysis, application of microstructured reactors in preparative chemistry, and catalytic conversion of renewable chemical feedstocks. He is known as the principal author of the compendium “Academic curriculum of teaching technical chemistry” in German universities as well as of the teaching books “Technisch-chemisches Praktikum,” “Einführung in die Heterogene Katalyse,” and “Microreactors in Preparative Chemistry – Practical Aspects in Bioprocessing, Nanotechnology, Catalysis and more.”
