Metal ion separation and preconcentration constitute the pivotal step in numerous analytical, purification, and waste treatment processes. Increasing environmental regulations and growing economic incentives imply that separation science will be essential to the future of industrial processing. This volume offers a broad perspective of advances in the field while also including up-to-date work in a number of specialized areas. It begins with an overview which describes the objectives the book, summarizes each chapter, and presents some immediate challenges for the future. Two review chapters then address the status of metal ion separations in nuclear energy and defense-related programs. These are followed by twenty chapters covering a range of topics, including aqueous phases in separations, extractant design and synthesis, solvent extraction, solid-liquid distribution, separations using membranes, centrifugal partition and countercurrent chromatography, and supercritical fluid extraction systems. Together the essays provide a fine balance of fundamental and applied research, making the book invaluable for both novice and experienced practitioners.
"A volume containing 23 contributions, divided into seven sections: overviews; aqueous systems; extractant design and synthesis; separations using liquid-liquid systems; separations using solid- liquid systems; separations using membranes; and separations using chromatographic and supercritical
fluid extraction systems. Topics include both novel separations media and methodology and recent developments in established separation techniques, with an emphasis on providing a picture of the state-of-the-art in the field. Suitable for the novice and experienced practitioner, as well as basic
researchers who work in metal ion complexation and separation. Also of likely interest to those interested in the application of metal ion separations methods to problems in waste treatment, environmental remediation, and chemical analysis."--SciTech Book News
"New technologies and concepts in the field of metal-ion separations are explored in this volume in the Symposium Series. The book is directed toward both new and experienced practitioners of separation science as well as scientists interested in the application of metal-ion separations to
environmental problems. The book is organized into six sections: Aqueous Systems, Extractant Design and Synthesis, Separations Using Liquid-Liquid Systems, Separations Using Solid-Liquid Systems, Separations Using Membranes, and Separations Using Chromatographic and Supercritical Fluid Extraction
Systems. Three overview chapters are also included."--Journal of the American Chemical Society
