Particle Separation Techniques

Particle Separation Techniques: Fundamentals, Instrumentation, and Selected Applications presents the latest research in the field of particle separation methods. This edited book authored by subject specialists is logically organized in sections grouping the separation techniques according to their preparative or analytical purposes and the particle type. Along with the traditional and classical separation methods suitable for micronic particles, an update survey of techniques appropriate for nanoparticle characterization is presented. This book fills the gap in the literature of particle suspension analysis of a synthetic but comprehensive manual, helping the reader to identify and apply selected techniques based on information contained in a single chapter. It provides an overview of the techniques available to a reader who is not an expert on particle separation yet about to enter the field, design an experiment, or buy an instrument for his/her new lab. In all cases in which researchers must identify the best separation method that fits the purpose of their research, this book will give them a clear and updated overview of what is available on the market or at lab scale. Appropriate for anyone preparing samples across a variety of fields, including pharmaceuticals, food science, pollution analysis and control, agricultural products, and moreReal case examples are discussed by leading experts in the fieldEach chapter will contain a unique common table summarizing points of strength and weakness of each technique
