Solid-liquid SeparationExamines the theory and practice of filtration and separation, and serves as a guide to the available technology and its industrial applications, with particular emphasis on engineering concepts, use of equipment, and design considerations. The third edition (second, 1981; first 1977) has been substantially revised and updated, with new chapters on such new separation techniques as magnetic and membrane separation, and on the problems of fine particle recycling, counter- current washing, and continuous pressure filters. Of interest to process engineers engaged in production, design, or research in such industries as chemicals, petrochemicals, textiles, metallurgy, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and food processing.
