Business Wire, Jan 31, 2008

DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c81412) has announced the addition of "Industrial Bioseparations: Principles and Practice" to their offering.

"Industrial Bioseparations" offers comprehensive coverage of bioseparations including all unit operations. This new book offers a careful balance between the fundamentals of bioseparations processing and the practical applications in industry today. It is laid out in a methodical way with preliminary chapters covering general approaches to bioseparations for commercially important biomacromolecules, thermodynamics and mass transfer principles, and following chapters addressing unit operations such as filtration and chromatography.

Lab experiments are included which emphasize obtaining scale up parameters as well as commonly used operating conditions. Daniel Forciniti, PhD is a Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Missouri, Rolla. Dr Forciniti joined the University of Missouri, Rolla after receiving his PhD from North Carolina State University in 1991. Dr Forciniti has published and made presentations extensively on chromatography, biomacromolecules, and biotechnology, including peer-reviewed articles, contributed chapters, and invited lectures. Dr Forciniti has also worked in industry as a chemist for Argentinian Glass Company.
