Biochemical Recovery: Practical Application in Laboratory and Pilot Plant (Paperback)

This book meets a deficiency in the present academic coverage of research and development in biotechnology, where a consideration of the importance of efficient biochemical recoveries frequently suffers in comparison to the presentation of advances in microbiology, molecular genetics and biochemical engineering. It commences with a definition of biochemical recovery as the preferential recovery, fractionation and concentration of biochemicals from production sources such as fermenters, bioreactors or waste streams. Emphasis is placed upon the practical and legal implications of purity specifications and product applications as real constraints upon choice of recovery for a wide range of product types.
