Encyclopedia of Separation Science (v. 1-10)

"The Encyclopedia of Separation Science" is the most comprehensive resource available on the theory, techniques, and applications of separation science. The work presents information on three levels. The first volume contains Level 1, which provides a broad overview of the theory of the 12 main categories of separation techniques. Volumes 2-4 (Level 2) expand coverage with detailed theoretical and technical descriptions of particular techniques. The remaining Volumes 5-9 (Level 3) cover applications of these techniques from the micro to the macro, and also from the analytical laboratory bench to large-scale industrial processes. Volume 10 consists mainly of the index. "The Encyclopedia of Separation Science" is the first truly comprehensive work covering the whole of separation theory, methods, and techniques. This encyclopedia will be invaluable to researchers and professionals across a wide range of areas in academia and industry. "Enclyclopedia of Separation Science" is available online via ScienceDirect offering enhanced features such as extensive cross-referencing and dynamic linking. It is written by experts from both academic and industrial settings worldwide. It includes 544 articles, covering 12 methods of separation: Affinity/Biotechnology; Centrifugation; Chromatography; Crystallization; Distillation; Electrophoresis; Extraction; Flotation; Ion exchange; Mass spectrometry; Membrane separations; and, Particle size separation. It allows easy access to the primary literature with further reading lists in each article. It provides extensive cross-referencing (hyperlinks in the electronic version). It dedicates one entire volume to the detailed index. It includes many figures and tables illustrating the text and a color plate section in each volume.

"This encyclopedia is part of a new generation of literature sources that is directed as much at the on-line computer user as the traditional book reader. It is a comprehensive data source that should appeal to a large range of scientists and engineers with an interest in physico-chemical separations. The focus is on the ever-expanding range of specialist methods and analytical techniques available to the separation professional...it will appeal particularly to those working in high technology industries such as the biomedical, pharmaceutical and agrochemical fields. Research professionals will also find it useful in method development for the purification and analysis of laboratory samples." --SANDRA KENTISH, Chemical Engineering in Australia I think this is a great idea given the dominant position of separation techniques in many areas of science and technology... I am not aware of anything similar on the market." --SHAWN DOOGAN, University of East London, UK "I feel that the overall structure is sound. A user wishing to use or research a specific technique may access the information at the level of introduction, background theory or by looking at practical examples." --DAVID SHEEHAN, University of College Cork, Ireland "Given the assurances of breadth of coverage, I believe the project to be viable, exciting and most useful." --ALAN TOWNSHEND, University of Hull, UK
