This book provides the industrial chromatographer and production scientist with a comprehensive account of process scale liquid chromatography. The basic theory is presented, guiding the reader through system design, simulation and modelling techniques, giving due consideration to economic aspects, as well as safety and regulatory factors.
A thorough, up-to-date survey of current techniques and media does stress their advantages and limitations in such a way as to faciliate their application to real-life problems. In view of rapid rate of development in industrial chromatography one chapter provides an assessment of future developments.
The chapters are written by acknowledged experts from Europe and the United States.
