ahuja - chromatography and separation science (elsevier, 2003)

[...]... influence chromatography and separations The main objectives of this book are as follows: Provide basic information on chromatography and separation science Describe the relationship between these important fields Cover how simple extraction or partition processes provide the basis for development of chromatography and separation science Describe the role of chromatography and separation science. .. understanding of transport phenomena and thermodynamics, an elementary discussion is included in Chapters 3 to 5 The discussion on chromatography should help improve the understanding of the principles involved in various modes of chromatography such as paper chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, gas chromatography, and high-pressure liquid chromatography (Chapters 6 to 10) This book relates simple separation. ..
