Separation and Purification Techniques in Biotechnology

This book describes separation and purification techniques--adsorption, ion exchange and liquid chromatography on solid supports--used for fermentation and biochemical feedstreams. Emphasis is placed on basic sorption theory, laboratory evaluation techniques, sorptive materials and their characteristics, scale-up of laboratory techniques, and their industrial applications. Each chapter contains specific examples illustrating the use of purification techniques in biotechnology processes.
