Textbook of Separation Processes

Contents: Preface. 1. Various separation processes. 2. Reactive extraction processes. 3. Adsorption ion exchange processes and chromatography. 4. Catalytic processes. 5. Future research in the various separation processes. Solved examples. Subject index. The Textbook of Separation Processes helps readers to understand basic concepts and master the separation process including latest processes. The authors have explained key separation processes: Absorption/Stripping distillation, liquid extraction leaching evaporation crystallization and drying of solid with exceptional clarity, realistic examples and case studies. The book starts by reviewing basic concepts such as equilibrium and unit operations then introduces a step by step process for solving separation problems. Next it introduces each leading processes including advanced processes such as supercritical extraction ionic liquids membrane separation reactive extraction adsorption bio sorption phytosorption ion exchange and chromatography. For each process the author presents essential principles techniques and equations as well as detailed case studies. Separation process Engineering is the new includes improved organization extensive new coverage and more than 85% new homework problems and real laboratory schematic experimental set up. Coverage includes: Extensive new coverage of membrane separations including gas permeation reverse osmosis ultra filtration pervaporation and key applications. New chapters on reactive extraction process are explained with special case studies and real data for easier understanding a detailed introduction and modeling to sorption's process like adsorption, biosorption and phytosorption ion exchange and chromatography: everything students need to understand advanced in these areas. Detailed case studies with real data organized in a common format for easier understanding. Various figures are provided at appropriate places along with photographs to aid students for comprehensive understanding of the subject. Catalytic process with examples. Discussions of future research in the various separation processes. Review questions have been added at the end.…
