Presents a case study of the world's largest commercial foam fractionatio
Trade Review
"This is an excellent, well-written book. It can appeal to a range of readers from those interested in foaming out wastes from fish tanks to those concerned with inexpensively recovering enzymes from dilute industrial and waste solutions. I learned a lot reading the early draft even from the introductory chapter…"
—Robert D. Tanner, Emeritus Professor, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee, USA and Visiting Associate, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, USA
"The authors’ deep appreciation for and extensive knowledge of foam fractionation shines through in their writing. They have written a lucid, approachable, and in-depth account of an important but poorly understood topic."
—Czarena Crofcheck, Associate Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies, Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering, University of Kentucky, Lexington, USA
