Chemical and environmental engineers update scientists and engineers on advanced techniques for creating specialized sorbents with a wide range of functions and can be used to enhance the separation and/or purification of useful bioactive species such as proteins, cells, heavy metal ions, and dyes. Their topics include cryogels for affinity chromatography, polysaccharide-based composite hydrogels for removing pollutants from water, biopolymer-zeolite composites as biosorbents for separation processes, metal-impregnated ion exchange for selectively removing and recovering trace phosphate, mixed-mode sorbents in solid-phase extraction, and interpenetrating polymer network composite hydrogels and their applications in separation processes.
