Advances in Separation Sciences: Sustainable Processes and Technologies

Discusses the different separation technologies and their applications in a variety of industrial processes. The book lists the pros and cons of the various processes for specialized application and outlines selection criteria to provide readers with the knowledge they need to develop processes and technologies themselves.

Divided into eight parts, chapters cover sustainable perspectives and developments, theory and mechanisms of various separation processes, advances in sample preparation techniques, advances in chromatography, advances in membrane technology, advances in microfluidics, green and sustainable separation sciences, and challenges and commercialization. In-depth and step-by-step descriptions of the various processes and technologies, explanations of their inclusion in modern industry, and scales for both experimental and theoretical models are also included.
