Chemical Separations - Principles, Techniques and Experiments

Author: Clifton E. Meloan
Publisher: Wiley, 1999, 768pp, 1st ed.

Through precise, detailed coverage of the principles, equipment, and techniques involved in separation science, this combination of laboratory manual, textbook and reference source gives readers a working knowledge of an impressive array of separation methods. In 42 chapters, it explores all major categories of separation, including those involving phase changes, extraction, chromatography, ion-exchange resins, electric fields, flotation, membranes, and miscellaneous techniques.
