Remedial and Analytical Separation Processes

This book describes comprehensive, integrated view of separation science backed by discussions about simple extraction and partition processes to give better understanding of the advanced techniques like chromatography, membrane separations. It paves way for understanding of fundamental physical and chemical phenomena involved in separations and a concise overview of the transport reactions. A chapter dedicated to phytoremediation gives an understanding to various processes involved in the bioremediation of environmental media. Features: Provides synchronous aspects of 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 mechanism of separation using membranes and sorbents. Helps reader understand the connection between the different discrete separation process. This book is aimed at senior undergraduate and graduate students in environmental engineering and analytical chemistry.
