Description
Volume I contains a brief review of adsorption history and its development for practical purposes up until now. It also presents some
important information on adsorbents and catalysts as well as on the methods of their characterization. The part of this volume dealing
with practical industrial applications includes chapters presenting advanced technical tools for high capacity adsorption separation
of liquid and gas mixtures, development of new adsorbents for removal of hazardous contaminants from combustion flue gases and wastewaters,
degasification of coal seams and fabrication of inorganic membranes and their applications. A comprehensive review is also included on
contemporary utility of self-assembled monolayers, adsorption proteins and their role in modern industry, adsorption methods in technology
of optical fibre glasses, sol-gel technology, solid desiccant dehumidification systems, etc. The articles give both the scientific backgrounds
of the phenomena discussed and emphasize their practical aspects.
The chapters give not only brief current knowledge about the studied
problems, but are also a source of topical literature on the subject. A comprehensive bibliography on adsorption principles, design data
and adsorbent materials for industrial applications for the period 1967-1997 concludes the book.
