Book excerpt: Showing chemists how to predict ion-exchange chromatography (IEC) separation behavior and how to determine appropriate operating conditions, this reference illustrates procedures, apparatus, and types of ion exchangers, emphasizing the design and application of large-scale IEC. Complete with more than 100 useful tables and diagrams, Ion-Exchange Chromatography of Proteins explains the effects of each variable on separation behavior ... compares models and equations describing separation behavior of proteins in IEC with experimental results ... introduces design calculation procedures for scale up, adapting IEC for individual requirements ... discusses parameters affecting separation behavior, including adsorption equilibria, stationary phase diffusion, and axial dispersion ... provides examples of the most up-to-date applications, such as high- or medium-performance IEC and large-scale operations ... and reviews both theoretical and experimental literature. Ion-Exchange Chromatography of Proteins serves as an important reference for analytical, agricultural, food, and pharmaceutical chemists, chromatographers, food scientists and technologists, biochemists, and biotechnologists.
