P. 272
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
