Ion Exchange and Solvent Extraction : A Series of Advances, Volume 18

The latest volume in the series, Volume 18 reflects the diversity in the field of ion exchange with a wide range of topics that impact catalysis, synthesis, molecular imprinting, green processes, drug delivery, nanotechnology, water treatment, and environmental pollution-control. Topics include: solvent sorption equilibria and kinetics of ion exchange resins; synthesis applications for cation exchange resins; drug delivery and other novel applications of ion exchange resins; the use of biopolymers as catalyst supports; predicting relative permeability of different ions in RO and NF processes; applications of chitosan in the separation and purification of metal ions; and advantages of short-bed units.

Alternating the focus of the series each year, the new volume in the Ion Exchange and Solvent Extraction series represents the vanguard of research in ion exchange. Ion Exchange and Solvent Extraction: A Series of Advances, Volume 18 reflects the remarkable breadth of applications inspiring the latest advances, featuring carefully selected contributors in areas including catalysis, molecular imprinting, drug delivery, nanotechnology, green processes, water treatment, and pollution control.

The book explores the properties of resins, synthetic polymers, and naturally occurring materials that exhibit ion exchange properties. It explains their role in synthesis reactions with experimental evidence, examples of reactions, and models. The book also provides useful data, calculations, modeling approaches, process variables, and design aspects to consider for a variety of novel applications.

Ion Exchange and Solvent Extraction: A Series of Advances, Volume 18 offers an updated perspective on the current and potential capabilities of ion exchange materials in today''s most cutting-edge applications.
