Affinity Membranes: Their Chemistry and Performance in Adsorptive Separation Processes

Explores the latest findings for both selective and efficient separation devices in the field of kidney research. The first part deals with biochemistry aspects of the problem, while the second discusses, amongst other topics, the various substrata used in affinity separations.
Divided into two major sections, this book explores the latest findings for both selective and efficient separation devices in the field of kidney research. Part 1 deals with biochemistry aspects of the problem, including how to identify ligands of interest, how to link them to synthetic membranes and some kinetic limitations of frontal elution chromatography. The second part discusses the various substrata used in affinity separations, the formation processes of semi-permeable membranes and the kinetics of separations based on affinity membranes.
