Surfactant Based Separation Processes

Complete with bibliographic citations and illustrations, this volume focuses on novel techniques and reviews established methods for surfactant-based separation processes that can be widely applied in industry. Describes new extraction techniques, and introduces micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration and admicellar chromatography, discusses protein extraction using reverse micelles, surfactant-enhanced carbon regeneration, and demonstrates new methods of turning waste streams containing dilute concentrations of valuable materials into product streams and examines such traditional surfactant-based methods as froth flotation and foam fractionation.
