Principles of Ion Exchange Technology

This book attempts to bring together ion exchange theory and present it in a form suitable for use by the chemical engineer as a basis for process evaluation and design. A systematic approach to the vast literature on ion exchange equilibria, kinetics and mass transfer is presented here and with the aid of worked examples, allows the reader to perform process calculations for stationary and continuous ion exchange concepts based on fixed and fluidized beds. A concise presentation of the relevant theory should be of value to students and practitioners alike in this rapidly expanding field
