Particle Separation Techniques: Fundamentals, Instrumentation, and Selected Applications presents the latest research in the field of particle separation methods. This edited book authored by subject specialists is logically organized in sections, grouping the separation techniques according to their preparative or analytical purposes and the particle type. Along with the traditional and classical separation methods suitable for micronic particles, an update survey of techniques appropriate for nanoparticle characterization is presented. This book fills the gap in the literature of particle suspension analysis of a synthetic but comprehensive manual, helping the reader to identify and apply selected techniques.

It provides an overview of the techniques available to a reader who is not an expert on particle separation yet about to enter the field, design an experiment, or buy an instrument for his/her new lab.

Zielgruppe

Academics and laboratory managers in industry and research centers, both in the sample preparation and analytical sectors; fields where highly purified and selected samples are required, e.g. biochemistry
Professional scientists entering or working in a variety of areas including: pharmaceuticals, food science, pollution analysis and control, agricultural products, pigments and chemicals, electronic materials, polymers; instructors in academia who want to teach a specific topic in the field
