Science and Practice of Liquid-Liquid Extraction: Volume 1 - Phase Equilibria; Mass Transfer Interfacial Phenomena; Extractor

Zusatztext The authors are well chosen, and the topics that are covered are appropriately in-depth and well written. The editorial process has obviously been extensive qnd thorough to make this book a coherent work. It will be an essential purchase for libraries and by researchers specialising in liquid-liquid extraction. It will be a valuable reference source for research students and for undergraduates . There is much to recommend it ... This book will be a valuable addition to the chemical engineering literature - providing both a reference source and a direction for future work in this field. For its size and coverage it also represents excellent value for money. Klappentext Part of a two-volume work providing an account of aspects of liquid-liquid extraction technology, as well as extraction processes in a number of industries. This volume discusses such topics as the thermodynamics of phase equilibria, mass transfer, plug flow analysis and axial dispersion.
