Provides a comprehensive introduction to ion exchange for beginners and in-depth coverage of the latest advances for those already in the field

As environmental and energy related regulations have grown, ion exchange has assumed a dominant role in offering solutions to many concurrent problems both in the developed and the developing world. Written by an internationally acknowledged leader in ion exchange research and innovation, Ion Exchange: in Environmental Processes is both a comprehensive introduction to the science behind ion exchange and an expert assessment of the latest ion exchange technologies. Its purpose is to provide a valuable reference and learning tool for virtually anyone working in ion exchange or interested in becoming involved in that incredibly fertile field.

Written for beginners as well as those already working the in the field, Dr. SenGupta provides stepwise coverage, advancing from ion exchange fundamentals to trace ion exchange through the emerging area of hybrid ion exchange nanotechnology (or polymeric/inorganic ion exchangers). Other topics covered include ion exchange kinetics, sorption and desorption of metals and ligands, solid-phase and gas-phase ion exchange, and more.

* Connects state-of-the-art innovations in such a way as to help researchers and process scientists get a clear picture of how ion exchange fundamentals can lead to new applications

* Covers the design of selective or smart ion exchangers for targeted applications--an area of increasing importance--including solid and gas phase ion exchange processes

* Provides in-depth discussion on intraparticle diffusion controlled kinetics for selective ion exchange

* Features a chapter devoted to exciting developments in the areas of hybrid ion exchange nanotechnology or polymeric/inorganic ion exchangers

Written for those just entering the field of ion exchange as well as those involved in developing the "next big thing" in ion exchange systems, Ion Exchange in Environmental Processes is a valuable resource for students, process engineers, and chemists working in an array of industries, including mining, microelectronics, pharmaceuticals, energy, and wastewater treatment, to name just a few.

Autor

Arup K. SenGupta, PhD is the P.C. Rossin Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Department of Chemical Engineering at Lehigh University. Over the last 35 years he has studied, learned, taught and conducted extensive research into nearly every facet of ion exchange. Dr. SenGupta is recognized as the inventor of hybrid ion exchange nanotechnology (HIX-Nano) that offers enhanced separation through the Donnan Membrane Principle. HIX-Nano materials are currently in use in six different countries including the USA to remove arsenic, fluoride and phosphate from contaminated water and waste water. In 2004, Dr. SenGupta received the International Ion Exchange Award at Cambridge University in England. He was the North American Editor of the Reactive and Functionalized Polymers Journal from 1996-2006.
