This was one of the recommended text in my school for separation processes, Covers a broad range of separation types. I’m now learning McCabe Thiele step diagrams for distillation class and found more detailed example problems with worked out solutions in a book (Engineering problems for undergraduate students) written by Ng, useful and supplements this book well especially this topic.

Very informative and covers quite a breadth of separations processes in a reasonable amount of depth. However, the writing is poor in that it is excessively verbose, and reading quickly becomes dull as a result.
