In Adsorption Technology and Design, we find a carefully crafted blend of theory, practice and example. The reader who seeks only an overview is as well served as the experienced practitioners seeking to broaden their knowledge. Chapters 1 and 2 are an introduction that allows the nonpractitioner to gain some understanding of the history and technology. Chapters 3 and 4 deal with the theory of adsorption equilibria and adsorption kinetics respectively. These well-structured chapters define the basic science of the subject and provide the essential grounding necessary to allow applications development. Chapters 5 and 6 are a comprehensive description of processes and cycles and their design procedures. Here the practitioner may gain experience or inspiration to innovate. These chapters are suitable reading for both the novice and the expert. Chapter 7 is the consolidation of the book. Here we see how theory is put into commercial practice. It also clearly illustrates the variety of possible approaches to particular processes and the rate of development of the technology.
