Features: Separation science plays a very important role in scientific research and industrial production in related fields of chemistry. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles of separation science and various main separation techniques. The book consists of 10 chapters. On the basis of briefly introducing the basic concepts and principles of separation methods (such as the thermodynamics and kinetics of separation processes, intermolecular interactions, etc.), it focuses on elaborating the main separation techniques widely used in scientific research and industrial practice (including extraction, chromatography, membrane separation, electrochemical separation, etc.). During the writing process, the book strives to balance both fundamental theory and practical applications. While ensuring a relatively complete discussion of several common separation techniques, it also introduces as many new separation techniques with promising application prospects as possible, such as solid-phase microextraction, liquid-phase microextraction, microwave-assisted solvent extraction, accelerated solvent extraction, and others. This book is suitable as a textbook or main reference book for senior undergraduate and graduate students in disciplines such as chemistry, pharmacy, chemical engineering, life sciences, and materials science to study separation science. It can also be used as a reference for scientists and engineers engaged in related scientific research and production.
