Solvent Extraction Classical and Novel Approaches [Hardcover]

The main challenge in modern solvent extraction separation is that most techniques are mainly empirical, specific and particular for narrow fields of practice and require a large degree of experimentation. This?concise and modern?book provides a?complete overview of both solvent extraction separation techniques and?the novel and unified competitive complexation/solvation theory. This novel and unified technique presented in the book provides a key for?a preliminary quantitative?prediction of?suitable extraction systems?without experimentation, thus saving researchers time and resources.

• Analyzes and compares both classical and new competitive models and techniques
• Offers a?novel and unified competitive complexation / solvation theory that permits researchers?to standardize some?parameters, which decreases the need for experimentation at R&D
• Presents examples of applications in?multiple disciplines such as chemical, biochemical, radiochemical, pharmaceutical and analytical separation
• Written by an outstanding scientist who is prolific in the field of separation science
