About this title

Synopsis

Particle Separation Techniques: Fundamentals, Instrumentation, and Selected Applications presents the latest research in the field of particle separation methods. This edited book authored by subject specialists is logically organized in sections, grouping the separation techniques according to their preparative or analytical purposes and the particle type. Along with the traditional and classical separation methods suitable for micronic particles, an update survey of techniques appropriate for nanoparticle characterization is presented. This book fills the gap in the literature of particle suspension analysis of a synthetic but comprehensive manual, helping the reader to identify and apply selected techniques.

It provides an overview of the techniques available to a reader who is not an expert on particle separation yet about to enter the field, design an experiment, or buy an instrument for his/her new lab.

• Presents a resource that is ideal for anyone preparing samples across a variety of fields, including pharmaceuticals, food science, pollution analysis and control, agricultural products, and more
• Includes real case examples discussed by leading experts in the field
• Provides chapters that contain a unique, common table that summarizes points-of-strength and the weaknesses of each technique

About the Author

Catia Contado is an associate professor of Analytical Chemistry at the University of Ferrara, where she currently teaches analytical chemistry, analytical techniques for characterizing nano- and micro-structured materials, and quality assurance for pharmaceutical industries. She earned a PhD in analytical and environmental chemistry at the University of Ferrara but she carried out her research at the Water Studies Centre of Monash University (Melbourne, AU) and at the Field Flow Fractionation Research Center of University of Utah (UT, USA). In 2006, as Fulbright Fellow, she worked at the Lerner Research Centre - Cleveland Clinic (OH, USA). Her research interests include the development of analytical methods for the analysis of micro and nanomaterials of natural and industrial origin, contained in pharmaceutical, food and consumer products.
