Ion Exchange and Solvent Extraction

<p>Since the Second World War the field of ion exchange has taken a dominant role in offering solutions to many problems in the developed and developing world. It has evolved to a wide array of applications including mining microelectronics drug delivery and detection food fertilizers chemical cleaning catalysis bioseparation water management environmental research and practices and energy.</p><p>The six chapters in this book represent diverse contributions from researchers around the globe who are making noticeable strides in the field in currently important areas:</p><ul> <li>Brackish water desalination</li> <li>Removing boron from water</li> <li>Sustainable approaches for synthesizing commercially important epoxide building blocks</li> <li>Solid-phase heavy-metal separation</li> <li>Separating concentrated ion mixtures in sorption columns</li> <li>Sensing toxic metals</li> </ul><p>Ion Exchange and Solvent Extraction: A Series of Advances Volume 22 provides a focused review of new materials and new processes that have developed and are rapidly growing. It describes cutting-edge research and practices in the use of ion exchange for building a cleaner sustainable world and provides thoughtful insights on what ion exchange may do for us in the future.</p>
