This text introduces a special class of polymeric ligand exchanger (PLE) with high affinities for anionic ligands. Volume 14 discusses the potential and advantages of micro- and nanofiltration membrane processes for removal of metals; details prevailing equilibrium relationships and supporting experimental data for systems where leaching and ion exchange take place simultaneously; covers cases of uranium cation and gold cyanide anion bisorption and modelling of engineered systems.

"Contains a complete manual with procedures for the implementation and scaling-up of industrial extraction processes. Discusses computer-aided molecular design. Includes examples of interactive, combinatorial, construct-and-test, and mathematical programming."

Volume 17 in the Ion Exchange and Solvent Extraction series represents the vanguard of research on solvent extraction. It covers the principles of electrolyte extraction and other subjects of increasing interest to the field. This volume begins with pharmaceutical applications of supercritical fluid solvents, particularly supercritical carbon dioxide. It also contains chapters on liquid ion exchangers and relevant experiment protocols, SCF applications in drug formulation and pollution reduction, exploiting SCF as reaction media, applications of metal bis(dicarbollide) in analytical chemistry...

This new book explains advanced and emerging technologies for removing heavy metals from wastestreams and contaminated sites. Separation processes of this type are critical for meeting stringent regulations of priority pollutants, especially arsenic, mercury, and lead, which the text treats in depth. After explaining the chemistry of heavy metals and their transport in various media, the work offers a comprehensive analysis of strategies for separating metals from groundwater, wastewater, contaminated soils, and industrial sludges.
Both the basics and the applications of techniques such...
