Ion Exchange Materials: Properties and Applications fills a "two-dimensional" gap in books currently available on the subject. Firstly, there is a lack of modern comprehensive publications on the chemistry of ion exchange materials and on the relationships between their properties and practical applications. Secondly, there are few books on ion exchange chemistry that are targeted to industrial R&D specialists and research students who (i) do not work with ion exchange on a daily basis, (ii) need to develop competence in this area, and (iii) find it difficult to start studying the subject from primary scientific publications. The book bridges these gaps by describing classical and modern theoretical concepts, as well as practical approaches for using ion exchange materials. Ion exchange materials combine properties of homogeneous and heterogeneous materials. Besides being an interesting subject for investigation, they are essential in a wide variety of industrial technologies: in the chemical and biochemical industries, pharmacy, medicine, microelectronics, the nuclear industry, food production, waste treatment, and many other areas. Ion exchange is a powerful tool in chemical analysis and scientific research. The main focus in this book is on ion exchange polymers: ion exchange resins, chelating resins, imprinted (templated), and other functional polymers. It provides an in-depth study of ion exchange materials, suitable for postgraduate students and R&D industrial specialists in chemistry, chemical and biochemical technology. - Comprehensively covers the subject - Provides links between theoretical concepts, material properties, practical applications, and technical solutions - Easy to understand - requires only ground knowledge of university-level chemistry and can be read without an in-depth knowledge of mathematics - Supported with an interactive website

Analytical Chemistry, Volume 38: Ion Exchange in Analytical Chemistry provides a broad survey of the important role that ion exchange can and should play in chemical analysis. This book focuses on the plate-equilibrium theory of chromatography, which is less difficult theoretically than the mass-transfer theory. Organized into 11 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the earliest recorded application of ion exchange. This text then examines how high temperature affects ion-exchange resins. Other chapters consider the exchange of ions between a solid ion-exchanging material and a solution, which is a typically reversible reaction. This book describes as well the relatively simple separations and other applications of ion exchange to analytical chemistry. The final chapter deals with the interesting nature of the metal complexes formed within the exchanger and describe the use of ion-exchange distribution studies to determine the stability and nature of complexes existing in the solution. This book is a valuable resource for analytical chemists.

Ion-exchange Technology I: Theory and Materials describes the theoretical principles of ion-exchange processes. More specifically, this volume focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and modelling of ion-exchange materials and their associated kinetics and equilibria. This title is a highly valuable source not only to postgraduate students and researchers but also to industrial R&D specialists in chemistry, chemical, and biochemical technology as well as to engineers and industrialists.

The book provides an in-depth discussion regarding inorganic ion exchangers for students, teachers, and researchers engaged in conducting research in chemical technology and related areas. Analytical chemists seeking simple and novel means of using easy-to-prepare chromatographic materials will find this book extremely informative. Inorganic Ion Exchangers in Chemical Analysis is unique in its discussion of column and planar chromatographic applications of amorphous synthetic inorganic ion exchangers. The book also covers the historical background of iorganic ion exchangers, their classification and present status, and the analytical aspects of these materials.

This comprehensive manual covers the main aspects of ion exchangers in chemistry, technical chemistry, and chemical engineering. It is a new edition of Dorfner's Ion exchangers--properties and applications (1972) which was the English translation of the German Ionenaustauscher (de Gruyter, Berlin, 1970). This edition is being issued directly in English in order to most effectively communicate with the international scientific and technical community. Applications of ion exchange technology have extended far beyond water treatment, and coverage here includes progress in such industries as sugar refining, purification of pharmaceuticals, hydrometallurgy (where knowledge of the use of ion exchange technology for uranium and copper hydrometallurgy has been upgraded, but the market for uranium and copper has deteriorated), solvent purification, catalysis, agriculture, medicine, and waste treatment. Chapters are self- contained, and a number introduce the field for beginners. Synthetic ion exchange resins are defined and discussed as reactive polymers. Appendices list commercial ion exchange materials and their sources of supply and provide computing tables for practical application. Despite de Gruyter's diligent efforts to use acid-free paper, this essential volume is printed on decidedly acidic paper. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
