Liquid-Liquid Extraction Equipment

In recent years the use of liquid--liquid extraction equipmenthas attracted widespread interest from all major chemicalengineering, petroleum and pharmaceutical companies as well asuniversity-based scientists and engineers. Liquid--LiquidExtraction Equipment presents :
* a critical analysis of all available information, includingpractical recommendations
* new ideas on performance enhancement and equipmentselection
* an up-to-date review of research results on equipmentperformance
* illustrations of present understanding using well-knownequipment
* a concise survey of past, present and forthcomingprocedures
The combination of the historical aspects of the subject, withextensive references and illustrations, make this a uniqueinformation source. All researchers, in industry and academia,using this type of equipment will find Liquid--LiquidExtraction Equipment an authoritative reference work and a solidbasis for future research projects.
