Handbook Of Separation Process Technology

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.

Separation Process Technology is a comprehensive guide to the fundamentals, selection, applications, and installation methods of innovative separation technologies.

All-in-one database of 38 proven Separation Techniques helps you design efficient, cost-effective systems the first time, every time Batch distillation problems solved! Melt crystallization techniques that save time and money! Air Stripping simplified! and much, much more. This new edition of the one and only handbook covering all major methods used to separate chemicals shares with you the knowledge and experience of 44 experts--and information that is vital to your industry and job. This solutions-oriented book explains in detail all the industrially accepted techniques for separating chemicals from one another without the use of chemical reactions. Look to this book for every method of dealing with every mixture, including liquid-liquid, liquids with dissolved solids, liquid-solid, solid-solid, gas-liquid, and gas-solid. New sections in the third edition cover design of tray columns, air stripping, melt crystallization, dust collectors, and hot gas barrier filtration. In addition, the chapters on batch distillation, steam distillation and stripping, design of packed columns, evaporation, crystallization from solutions, centrifugration, drying of solids in liquids, and gas-solid separation have been completely rewritten.

Handbook of Methods and Instrumentation in Separation Science, Volume 1 provides concise overviews and summaries of the main methods used for separation. It is based on the Encyclopedia of Separation Science. The handbook focuses on the principles of methods and instrumentation. It provides general concepts concerning the subject matter; it does not present specific procedures. This volume discusses the separation processes including affinity methods, analytical ultracentrifugation, centrifugation, chromatography, and use of decanter centrifuge and dye. Each methodology is defined and compared with other separation processes. It also provides specific techniques, principles, and theories concerning each process. Furthermore, the handbook presents the applications, benefits, and validation of the processes described in this book. This handbook is an excellent reference for biomedical researchers, environmental and production chemists, flavor and fragrance technologists, food and beverage technologists, academic and industrial librarians, and nuclear researchers. Students and novices will also find this handbook useful for practice and learning. One-stop source for information on separation methods General overviews for quick orientation Ease of use for finding results fast Expert coverage of major separation methods Coverage of techniques for all sizes of samples, pico-level to kilo-level

Separation processesâ€"or processes that use physical, chemical, or electrical forces to isolate or concentrate selected constituents of a mixtureâ€"are essential to the chemical, petroleum refining, and materials processing industries. In this volume, an expert panel reviews the separation process needs of seven industries and identifies technologies that hold promise for meeting these needs, as well as key technologies that could enable separations. In addition, the book recommends criteria for the selection of separations research projects for the Department of Energy's Office of Industrial Technology.

This work offers an accessible discussion of current and emerging separation processes used for waste minimization, showing how the processes work on a day-to-day basis and providing troubleshooting tips for equipment that doesn't function according to design specifications. It describes the fundamentals of over 30 processes, types of equipment available, vendors, and common problems encountered in operations with hazardous waste.
