Overview

This work presents an up-to-date account of some of the fundamental aspects of liquid-liquid extraction technology together with an account of extraction processes in a number of important industries. The work is divided into two parts. This volume is concerned with the thermodynamics of phase equilibria; mass transfer in liquid-liquid systems including the complicating role of interfacial turbulence; behaviour of liquid-liquid dispersions and the selection and design of countercurrent contactors for particular applications.

Reviews

The authors are well chosen, and the topics that are covered are appropriately in-depth and well written. The editorial process has obviously been extensive qnd thorough to make this book a coherent work. It will be an essential purchase for libraries and by researchers specialising in liquid-liquid extraction. It will be a valuable reference source for research students and for undergraduates . There is much to recommend it ... This book will be a valuable addition to the chemical engineering literature - providing both a reference source and a direction for future work in this field. For its size and coverage it also represents excellent value for money. * Martyn S.
