Book Description
A complete and up-to-date presentation of the fundamental theoretical principles and applications of solvent extraction, this enhanced Second Edition includes new coverage of the latest developments in solvent extraction processes, the use of solvent extraction in analytical applications and waste recovery, and computational chemistry methods for modeling the solvent extraction of metal ions. Allocates eight chapters for in-depth discussion of industrial applications in hydrometallurgy, nuclear science, and other areas. Offering sound scientific and technical descriptions in a format accessible for students and expedient for researchers and engineers, Solvent Extraction Principles and Practice, Second Edition provides a modern introduction to solvent extraction...reviews the physical principles central to the technique...clearly presents the relevant formal expressions...features a new chapter expounding on ionic strength corrections...summarizes recent field advances, such as the documentation of new solvent matrices...predicts improvements in methods and industrial usage based on current research and technologies...and supplements the text with more than 850 literature citations, 200 figures, and 80 tables.
