Preface This is the second edition of the text “Bioreaction Engineering Principles” by Jens Nielsen and John Villadsen, originally Published in 1994 by Plenum Press (now part of Kluwer).
Time runs fast in Biotechnology, and when Kluwer Plenum stopped reprintiong the first edition and asked us to make a second, revised edition we happily accepted. A text on bioreactions written in the early 1990’s will not reflect the enormous development of experimental as well as theoretical aspects of cellular reaction during the past decade.
In the preface to the first edition we admitted to be newcomers in the field. One of us (JV) has had 10 more years of job training in biotechnology, and the younger author (JN) has now received international recognition for his work with the hottest topics of “modern” biotechnology. Furthermore we are happy to have induced Gunnar Lidén, professor of chemical reaction engineering at our sister university in Lund, Sweden to join us as co-author of the second edition. His contribution, especially on the chemical engineering aspects of “real” bioreactors has been of the greatest value.
Chapter 8 of the present edition is largely unchanged from the first edition. We wish to thank professor Martin Hjortso from LSU for his substantial help with this chapter.
As was the case for the first edition numerous people helped us by carefully reviewing individual chapters. Professor Lars K Nielsen of University of Queensland was a constant sparring partner, both in Australia and lately as a visiting professor at DTU. The help of Dr. Mats Akesson and of our PhD students, in particular Mikkel Nordkvist, Thomas Grotkjaer, Jochen Fǒrster and Morten Skov Hansen is also gratefully acknowledged. MSc student Rebecca Munk Vejborg was of great help in her careful editing of the final version of the manuscript.
All three authors are chemical engineers by education, and we followed in the footsteps of other chemical engineers who “converted” to biotechnology, but retained their passion for a quantitative treatment of problems from the physical world.One of the greatest innovators of biochemical engineering, professor James E. Bailey was also a chemical engineer by education. We wish to dedicate this book to the memory of this eminent scientist, who was a close colleague and a friend (of the senior author for more than 35 years), and whose work is admired by all three of us. If the pages of this book could inspire some students in the way Jay Bailey inspired hundreds of chemical engineering and biochemical engineering students we could hope for no better reward.

这本书的内容组织逻辑清晰得让人惊叹,作者显然对学科体系有着非常深刻的理解和规划。从基础的反应动力学回顾,到逐步深入到复杂的非均相反应器设计,每章节之间的过渡都像是水到渠成,没有那种生硬的跳跃感。尤其是对于热力学平衡和反应速率常数推导的部分,作者没有急于给出结论,而是层层剥茧地展示了从宏观现象到微观机理的演变过程,即便是初次接触这些复杂模型的读者,也能跟上思路。我特别喜欢它在讨论不同类型反应器(如CSTR、PFR,甚至是更前沿的膜反应器)性能对比时所采用的对比框架,非常系统化,能清晰地看到不同设计选择背后的优缺点权衡。这种结构安排,使得这本书不仅可以作为系统学习的教材,也能成为工作中快速定位和解决特定工程问题的强大参考手册。
评分这本书的装帧设计很有意思,封面选用了深邃的蓝色调,搭配着简洁有力的白色字体,给人一种既专业又沉稳的感觉。拿到手里,能明显感觉到纸张的质感很好,内页的印刷清晰锐利,即便是密集的公式和图表,阅读起来也毫不费力。装订很牢固,翻阅时不会有散页的担忧,这点对于需要反复查阅参考书的读者来说非常重要。更值得一提的是,书中大量的插图和流程图绘制得非常精美,不仅仅是简单的示意,更像是艺术品,用直观的方式帮助理解那些抽象复杂的化学反应过程。比如,对于一个大型反应器内部流场模拟的示意图,细节丰富,层次分明,让人一眼就能抓住核心的物理现象。这种对细节的关注,体现了出版社在编辑和设计上的匠心,让一本偏硬核的技术书籍在视觉上达到了很高的水准,捧在手里,就觉得是值得珍藏的工具书。
评分说实话,最初翻开这本书时,我对它是否能跟上最新的科研前沿表示怀疑,毕竟“原理”二字有时意味着理论的滞后性。然而,这本书给了我一个惊喜。它在核心原理讲解扎实的基础上,融入了大量关于过程强化和绿色化学的新兴技术讨论。例如,在讨论生物催化剂固定化技术时,它不仅仅停留在了传统的载体描述上,而是深入探讨了微环境效应对酶活性的影响,甚至提到了某些新型纳米材料在提高传质效率方面的潜力。这种对前沿热点的捕捉和将其融入经典框架的能力,显示出作者深厚的学术功底和敏锐的洞察力。阅读这些章节时,我感觉自己不是在读一本“旧”的原理书,而是在一个坚实的基础上,眺望着行业未来的发展方向,很有启发性,让人忍不住想去查阅更多的相关文献。
评分这本书的习题设置绝对是它的一大亮点,而且我敢说,这是我见过最能检验理解深度的习题集之一。这些题目并非简单的公式套用或数值代换,它们往往设计得非常巧妙,需要读者将不同章节中学到的知识点进行交叉整合和逻辑推演才能得出答案。有的题目甚至直接模拟了一个真实工业场景中的“故障排除”过程,要求你根据已有的操作数据,反推出反应器设计中可能存在的缺陷。这种“应用导向”的练习,极大地锻炼了我的工程思维和解决实际问题的能力。我花了很多时间在这些习题上,即使遇到难题,回头查阅书中对应的理论推导过程,也总能找到清晰的指引,这套习题与其说是考试工具,不如说是帮助我内化知识、真正掌握这门学科精髓的最佳途径。
评分这本书的语言风格非常独特,它兼具了严谨的学术规范和一种近乎布道者的热情。在讲解一些关键的、容易混淆的概念时,作者会不自觉地使用一些生动的类比或极富感染力的措辞,瞬间就能将我从公式的迷宫中解救出来。比如,在描述某个传递现象的“瓶颈效应”时,作者用了一个非常贴切的生活场景来打比方,一下子就让原本枯燥的数学描述变得鲜活起来。同时,书中对一些历史上的关键发现和理论争论的叙述,也充满了人文色彩,让我们明白这些科学原理是如何在不断的探索和修正中建立起来的。这种“有温度”的写作方式,极大地降低了阅读的挫败感,让我在学习过程中保持了高昂的兴趣,感觉像是在听一位经验极其丰富的老师娓娓道来,而不是单纯地啃一本教科书。
