Description
The important role of separation in various branches of science and technology demands a comprehensive and integrated treatment of the subject. Hence, a science of separation is now emerging that deals with the fundamental physical and chemical phenomena involved in the attainment of separations, as well as with the development and application of various processes. This volume presents a comprehensive treatment of both fundamental aspects and practical applications of gas and liquid separations. A wide variety of available separation techniques are considered and common underlying principles inherent in all separation processes are stressed, thereby setting the framework for the establishment of separation science. The fundamentals of separation science are emphasized, including thermodynamics, kinetics, operational aspects and modelling, together with the latest developments in separation techniques using sorbents, membranes, cryogenic techniques, extraction, chemical processes, filtration and other processes. A separate section is devoted to new developments in accurate measurements required to monitor the degree of separation or purification.
