Books in the Science and Practice of Liquid-Liquid Extraction series

Part of a two-volume work providing an account of aspects of liquid-liquid extraction technology, as well as extraction processes in a number of industries. This volume discusses such topics as the thermodynamics of phase equilibria, mass transfer, plug flow analysis and axial dispersion.

This work presents an 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. Extraction techniques for specific applications are illustrated with reference to the hydrometallurgical, nuclear, pharmaceutical, and food industries.
