Publisher's Synopsis
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.
