111 Calculation Exercises in the Field of Chemical Technology

Dr. Günter Jüptner has been working in the chemical industry for 55 years. This is reflected in a curriculum vitae that leads "from the ground up" as an apprentice chemical laboratory technician in a company laboratory to the position of global technology manager for polyester in a major global chemical group. Intermediary stages included studies at a technical college to become a chemical engineer, followed by studies in chemistry at a technical university, culminating in a doctorate. Here, the author taught seminars focusing on technical chemistry/process engineering, among other things. His later work in research and development always took place in close practical cooperation with production plants. For about ten years, he has been teaching prospective industrial foremen in chemistry on a part-time basis. This collection of tasks, which describes basic calculations occurring in chemical production in a practical manner, developed from this.
