This book describes separation and purification techniques?adsorption, ion exchange and liquid chromatography on solid supports?used for fermentation and biochemical feedstreams. Emphasis is placed on basic sorption theory, laboratory evaluation techniques, sorptive materials and their characteristics, scale-up of laboratory techniques, and their industrial applications. Each chapter contains specific examples illustrating the use of purification techniques in biotechnology processes.Introduction Adsorption Ion Exchange Column Chromatography Processes Affinity Chromatography IndexThis book describes separation and purification techniques?adsorption, ion exchange and liquid chromatography on solid supports?used for fermentation and biochemical feedstreams.
