Batch distillation problems solved! Melt crystallization techniques that save time and money! Air Stripping simplified! and much, much more. This new edition of the one and only handbook covering all major methods used to separate chemicals shares with you the knowledge and experience of 44 experts--and information that is vital to your industry and job.

This solutions-oriented book explains in detail all the industrially accepted techniques for separating chemicals from one another without the use of chemical reactions. Look to this book for every method of dealing with every mixture, including liquid-liquid, liquids with dissolved solids, liquid-solid, solid-solid, gas-liquid, and gas-solid.

New sections in the third edition cover design of tray columns, air stripping, melt crystallization, dust collectors, and hot gas barrier filtration. In addition, the chapters on batch distillation, steam distillation and stripping, design of packed columns, evaporation, crystallization from solutions, centrifugration, drying of solids in liquids, and gas-solid separation have been completely rewritten.
