Separations for Biotechnology

Focused, up to date and carefully refereed, Separations for Biotechnology 3 covers recent developments, current research, and new and emerging technologies in the fundamental biological, chemical and engineering aspects related to the separation and purification of biological products such as therapeutic proteins, antibiotics and amino acids. The book contains original contributions on the use of molecular biology and protein engineering to facilitate recovery, new techniques for affinity separations, mathematical modelling of individual processes and separation systems, and the validation of processes for safe use. The scope of the coverage is wide, and encompasses both academic and industrial angles on the subjects covered. It provides a stimulating account of an intriguing area of science, with subject and author indexes enabling the reader to use the book for quick, easy research and reference. Separations for Biotechnology 3 is a must for researchers working on fundamental and applied aspects of biorecovery, and for practising engineers and technologists involved in industrial production.
