The Ion Exchange and Solvent Extraction series treats ion exchange and solvent extraction both as discrete topics and as a unified multidisciplinary study - presenting new insights for researchers in many chemical and related fields. ;Volume 12 contains coverage of: the nature of metal-ion interaction with oppositely charged sites of ion exchangers; high-pressure ion exchange separation of rare earth elements; the commercial recovery of valuable minerals from seawater and brines by ion exchange and sorption; the kinetics of ion exchange in heterogenous systems; the ion-exchange equilibria of amino acids; and more. ;The work is intended for analytical co-ordination process separation surface organic inorganic physical and environmental chemists geochemists electrochemists radiochemists biochemists biophysicists hydrometallurgists membrane researchers and chemical engineers.
