The bioseparation techniques are increasingly important for biotechnology
because separation is often the limiting factor for the success of biological
processes. This book describes the basic principles and engineering design of
various separation processes including chromatography, electrophoresis,
extraction, crystallization, and membrane separation. It will stimulate young
engineers and scientists who will develop bioseparation engineering further in
the 21st century, and contribute to the worldwide attention to the global
environment. The book brings the latest information in the field of
bioseparation of enzymes and proteins. It aims to systematically promote and
enforce an essential integration between bioseparation processes and
biological/chemical and engineering sciences through a series of case studies
focusing on
