Seperation Process Principles

Updated to reflect advances in the field, the second edition of this highly respected text examines rate-based and equilibrium-based approaches to separation operations. It describes the fundamentals of all separation operations of commercial interest, and includes theory and application examples in each chapter, as well as over 600 exercises.
