Solvent Extraction Separation of Elements with Liquid Ion Exchangers [Hardcover] S. M. Khopkar

KEY FEATURES:
-A monograph filling the gap of a good book on this topic with wide varied aspects of author's teaching, laboratory and industrial experience.
-Details of various elements and main group elements are presented in tabular form as a ready reference covering various extraction principles for research workers engaged in developing novel methods of separation.
-Reversed Phase Partition Chromatography/Extraction Chromatography method anticipates and presents the experimental works carried out by the author in his laboratorial experience of the past three decades.

ABOUT THE BOOK:
Although a large number of books are available in the fields of solvent extraction and ion exchangers (extraction by chelation or solvation), this book is the first of its kind in the field of liquid ion exchangers (extraction by ion pair formation) which is an upcoming field in solvent extraction chemistry. There are a number of monographs dealing with various aspects of solvent extraction. However, the present title deals in depth with analytical chemistry liquid ion exchangers. This monograph will be very useful to analytical chemists, environmental scientists, chemical processing and material scientists, research workers in solvent extraction as well as postgraduate students majoring in analytical chemistry.

This monograph comprises of several chapters. The introduction deals with elementary ideas about liquid ion exchangers and their comparisons with the solid ion exchange resins. The chapter on solvent extraction covers the general classification of mechanisms of extraction and consideration of the extraction equilibria. There are two chapters pertaining to important characteristics and principles of extraction by both liquid anion as well as liquid cation exchangers. The rest of the chapters deal with the separation of elements with liquid ion exchangers, reverse phase partition chromatography and usage of solvent extraction in separation of metals for industrial purposes.
