The literature of adsorption  247


            covered in depth. Descriptions are provided on the selection of adsorbents,
            fundamental  theories  of adsorption,  rate  processes  and column  dynamics.
            The  book  is aimed  not only at being a starting point for professionals  and
            students  interested  in gas separation  and purification processes but also at
            serving as a basis for process selection, development and design of new cyclic
            processes and future research. Each of the eight chapters is referenced.

            In the  52 pages of Chapter  9 entitled  Adsorption,  A.  Mersmann  provides
            sections on adsorption  apparatus,  adsorbents,  equilibrium, kinetics, regen-
            eration  by  thermal  swing,  pressure  swing,  displacement  and  extraction
            methods.  He  also  provides  sections  describing  processes  which  include
            purification  of  gas  mixtures,  pressure  swing  processes,  separation  of
            nitrogen  from  oxygen,  air  purification,  removal  of  radionuclides  from
            exhaust gas, removal of organic compounds from exhaust air, desulphuriza-
            tion, purification of methane, purification of hydrogen and the separation of
            isomers.  A  substantial  list  of  references  is  provided.  In  the  44  pages  of
            Chapter  10 entitled  Process-Scale  Chromatography,  G. Jagschies provides
            sections  on  separation  processes  which  include  ion  exchange,  affinity,
            hydrophobic,  interaction  and  reversed  phase  chromatographic  techniques
            as  well  as  gel  filtration.  Other  sections  relate  to  optimization  strategies,
            scale-up  and  transfer  protocols,  basic  design  requirements,  plant  design,
            quality assurance and future developments. A substantial list of references is
            provided.

            Handbook  of  Separation  Techniques for  Chemical Engineers,  2nd
            edition (edited by P. A. Schweitzer, McGraw-Hill, New York, 1988)
            Four  sections  in  this  practical  handbook  are  devoted  to  adsorption
            processes.  In  Section  1.13 R.A.  Hutchins  provides  a  general  descriptive
            account of the use of activated carbon systems for the separation of liquids.
            The design techniques are restricted to short cut methods such as residence
            time  and  service  time.  Analysis  of  equilibrium  data  is  restricted  to  the
            Freundlich isotherm.  A  brief list of references  is provided.  In Section  1.15
            C.-R.  Huang  and  H.  Hollein  provide  a  detailed  account  of  parametric
            pumping.  Subject  matter  includes  thermal  swing liquid phase  separations,
            gas phase cyclic separation processes, recuperative-mode parametric pump-
            ing, parametric  pumping  for  biochemical  separations  and  electrochemical
           parametric  pumping  for desalination.  This section  is largely descriptive  in
           nature  and  there  is  an  extensive  list  of  130  references.  In  Section  1.16
           R.S.  Cooley  provides  a  brief  (10  page)  descriptive  overview  of  high
