Chemical Separations with Liquid Membranes

Reviews a variety of liquid membrane configurations, transport mechanisms, and experimental techniques. Describes separations of metal ions, anionic species, organic molecules, and gas mixtures that involve liquid membrane processes. Provides coverage of theory, including mechanisms, carrier design and synthesis, and applications in chemical separations. Covers a broad range of separation processes, including carbon dioxide from nitrogen, unsaturated hydrocarbons, individual transition and heavy metal cations, selenium from contaminated waters, radiotoxic species from nuclear wastes, and sugars from aqueous solutions. Presents state-of-the-art information for both the novice and practitioner.
