Ion Exchange and Solvent Extraction

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.
