Contains papers from a July 1998 conference. Sections address the use of ion exchange in clean-up of aqueous effluents from the nuclear industries, developments in the theory of ion exchange, and employment of the technique to environmental problems in drinking water treatment and industrial waters. Analytical aspects of ion exchange are covered in depth, including the latest developments in ion exchange chromotography, gradient and ion exclusion chromotography, and capillary electrophoresis protein separations. Novel organic and inorganic exchangers are described together with their potential industrial uses. The editors are associated with North East Wales Institute, UK, and the University of Salford, UK.
