A thorough, up-to-date survey of current techniques and media does stress their advantages and limitations in such a way as to faciliate their application to real-life problems. In view of rapid rate of development in industrial chromatography one chapter provides an assessment of future developments.

The chapters are written by acknowledged experts from Europe and the United States.
