Surfactants in Chemical/Process Engineering

The first reference to link chemical engineering technologies and surfactant science in suchbreadth of focus Surfactants in Chemical/Process Engineering features contributionsby major authorities in chemical engineering whose applications have opened important newfields for surfactant use. These applications include dispersion science separation processes oilrecovery microemulsions and environmental control. This volume discusses ultrafiltration processes flotation metal extractions and more. examines surfactants in process streams for such industrial separations as micellar-enhancedultrafiltration adsorbent regeneration micellar extractions and oiVwater demulsification. describes methodologies for separations of fatty acids metals minerals and impuritiessolvents and hydrocarbons for cost-saving industrial and consumer product manufacture. details techniques for developing and optimizing formulations for superior agricultural plantcontrol or enhancement systems micro- and macroemulsions and liquid surfactant membranes. and looks closely at emulsion polymers in soil stabilizations protective coatings sealantsadhesives textile processing paper finishing specialty concretes and tire manufacture.
