Summary:

This volume addresses recent developments and approaches in selected application areas of separation and purification technology -- presenting a useful blend of current progress in theory, applications, process technology, and related economics. Exploring the continual and rapid evolution of this field, Separation and Purification Technology discusses mature, established technologies as well as new "cutting-edge" techniques ... treats the application of membrane-based separations in biotechnology, commercial applications of emulsion liquid membranes, and economic evaluation of membrane technology ... displays strong environmental connotations, examining liquid waste concentration by electrodialysis and the application of immobilized bioadsorbents for the recovery of dissolved metals ... describes novel applications of complexation phenomena ... considers new fundamental work in mass transfer in pulsed, sieveplate, extraction columns ... and more. Providing more than 200 helpful tables, figures, and equations, Separation and Purification Technology is an indispensable reference for chemical, industrial, and manufacturing engineers, and analytical chemists and biochemists.
