Alternating the focus of the series each year, the new volume in the "Ion Exchange and Solvent Extraction" series represents the vanguard of research in ion exchange. "Ion Exchange and Solvent Extraction: A Series of Advances, Volume 18" reflects the remarkable breadth of applications inspiring the latest advances, featuring carefully selected contributors in areas including catalysis, molecular imprinting, drug delivery, nanotechnology, green processes, water treatment, and pollution control.The book explores the properties of resins, synthetic polymers, and naturally occurring materials that exhibit ion exchange properties. It explains their role in synthesis reactions with experimental evidence, examples of reactions, and models. The book also provides useful data, calculations, modeling approaches, process variables, and design aspects to consider for a variety of novel applications. "Ion Exchange and Solvent Extraction: A Series of Advances, Volume 18" offers an updated perspective on the current and potential capabilities of ion exchange materials in today's most cutting-edge applications.
