Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Surveys the selection, design, and operation of most of the industrially important separation processes. Discusses the underlying principles on which the processes are based, and provides illustrative examples of the use of the processes in a modern context. Features thorough treatment of newer separation processes based on membranes, adsorption, chromatography, ion exchange, and chemical complexation. Includes a review of historically important separation processes such as distillation, absorption, extraction, leaching, and crystallization and considers these techniques in light of recent developments affecting them.

CHOICE Review
This book attempts to supply basic information on most of the techniques used to separate a desired compound from a chemical process stream. The first four chapters deal with the general principles inherent in any separation process (phase equilibrium, mass transfer, phase separation, and a general consideration chapter). The next 17 chapters deal with individual separations processes. There is a long chapter on distillation followed by others on the standard separations techniques and yet others on the recently emerging methods such as membrane separations and large-scale chromatography. Each chapter is written by a well-known expert in the area or by a team of such. Thus, the style and contents vary. However, there is generally a good emphasis on technical detail, an adequate use of illustrative figures, ample bibliographies, and a general index. Tables of technical data are scarce. The breadth of coverage, the distinction of the authors involved, and the care with which the chapters have been written make it likely that this will be the standard reference in this area for some time. Thus, the book is strongly recommended for any library serving chemical engineers or any group of technical people dealing with chemical processing.-L.A.
