Unified Separation Science

By J. Calvin Giddings

Book Overview

This is an advanced text by one of the foremost experts in separation science. It unifies the complex welter of techniques used for chemical separations by clearly formulating the concepts that are common to them. The mass transport phenomena underlying all separation processes are developed in a simple physical-mathematical form. The limitations and optimum performance of alternative separation techniques and the factors enhancing and limiting separation power can thus be described and explored.

Unified Separation Science Review

Is a great book for people starting in any type of separation sciences. It is easy to understand and explains many important concepts that are necessary to understand the chromatographic phenomena.

Very useful and thorough

I've used this book in my own research and also in teaching grad level chemical separations course -- an excellent resource. A perfect "career bookend" to Giddings' early work "Dynamics of Chromatography".
