Download or read book Downstream Processing and Bioseparation written by Jean-François Hamel and published by Washington, D.C. : American Chemical Society. This book was released on 1990 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new volume examines the state of the art of several important separation processes as they relate to biotechnology. Focusing on isolation and purification of downstream processing, it presents recent research results of several promising techniques. Its 15 chapters cover extraction and membrane processing, processes using biospecific interaction with proteins, and novel isolation and purification processes. Many of the chapters contain data that have not been published before. This volume presents the spectrum of current thinking and activities on bioseparation, specifically of large molecules such as proteins and polysaccharides.
