The book provides an in-depth discussion regarding inorganic ion exchangers for students, teachers, and researchers engaged in conducting research in chemical technology and related areas. Analytical chemists seeking simple and novel means of using easy-to-prepare chromatographic materials will find this book extremely informative. Inorganic Ion Exchangers in Chemical Analysis is unique in its discussion of column and planar chromatographic applications of amorphous synthetic inorganic ion exchangers. The book also covers the historical background of iorganic ion exchangers, their classification and present status, and the analytical aspects of these materials.

This book extends the frontiers of the ion exchange technologist and highlights new materials for the future.

This comprehensive manual covers the main aspects of ion exchangers in chemistry, technical chemistry, and chemical engineering. It is a new edition of Dorfner's Ion exchangers--properties and applications (1972) which was the English translation of the German Ionenaustauscher (de Gruyter, Berlin, 1970). This edition is being issued directly in English in order to most effectively communicate with the international scientific and technical community. Applications of ion exchange technology have extended far beyond water treatment, and coverage here includes progress in such industries as sugar refining, purification of pharmaceuticals, hydrometallurgy (where knowledge of the use of ion exchange technology for uranium and copper hydrometallurgy has been upgraded, but the market for uranium and copper has deteriorated), solvent purification, catalysis, agriculture, medicine, and waste treatment. Chapters are self- contained, and a number introduce the field for beginners. Synthetic ion exchange resins are defined and discussed as reactive polymers. Appendices list commercial ion exchange materials and their sources of supply and provide computing tables for practical application. Despite de Gruyter's diligent efforts to use acid-free paper, this essential volume is printed on decidedly acidic paper. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Ion exchange is one of the most common and effective treatment methods for liquid radioactive waste. This book reviews the current literature on the subject and reports on the existing state of the art of the application of ion exchange processes for liquid radioactive waste treatments and of the management of spent ion exchange media.
