Engineering Processes for Bioseparations

Looking at existing techniques and new technologies for separation processes of biologically-derived products, this book discusses the main unit operations of extraction, solid-liquid operations and membrane separation. Each technique is covered from a discussion of the fundamental principles through to reviews of recent developments. Examples of each technique are also given. The book is aimed at chemical and biochemical engineers and industrial microbiologists in the food, pharmaceutical, biotechnological, brewing and distilling industries and related process industries.
