Remedial and Analytical Separation Processes [Hardback]

* Item Description

This book describes a comprehensive, integrated view of separation science backed by discussions about simple extraction and partition processes to give a better understanding of advanced techniques like chromatography and membrane separations. It paves the way for an understanding of the fundamental physical and chemical phenomena involved in separations and a concise overview of transport reactions. A chapter dedicated to phytoremediation gives an understanding of the various processes involved in the bioremediation of environmental media.

Features:

• Provides synchronous aspects of the separation process for remediation, including phytoremediation and analysis using chromatography
• Addresses basic separation techniques for water solutions
• Discusses mechanistic views of various separation processes
• Includes the mechanism of separation using membranes and sorbents
• Helps the reader understand the connection between the different discrete separation processes

This book is aimed at senior undergraduate and graduate students in environmental engineering and analytical chemistry.
