Numerous practical separation examples are used to present versatile, powerful, and above all, cost-effective separation methods that are increasingly in demand by the large number of medium-sized laboratories. This book bridges the gap between preparative HPLC and production separations.

Content:

• Direct and indirect separation of complex mixtures from all areas of organic preparative synthesis
• Isolation of main and/or by-products from various reaction products
• Separation of extracts from synthetic or natural sources
• Purification of active ingredients from drug synthesis
• Recovery of valuable starting materials from a synthesis
• Purification of end products, e.g., separation of organic compounds from reaction products
• Isolation of by-products in large quantities for the purpose of testing their properties, e.g., toxicity
• Isolation of valuable natural ingredients from plant extracts, e.g., from hop cones, propolis, pepper, myrrh, etc.
• Separation of valuable substances from drug synthesis
• Separation of essential oils to isolate expensive components from natural products
• Separation of plant resins
• Isolation and purification of expensive standard or reference substances for analytical determination methods.
