Manual of Soil Analysis : Monitoring and Assessing Soil Bioremediation

Manual of Soil Analysis : Monitoring and Assessing Soil Bioremediation

Reliable methods for monitoring and assessing soil quality are a prerequisite for successful soil bioremediation projects. The fifth volume of Soil Biology presents detailed descriptions of selected methods for evaluating, monitoring and assessing bioremediation treatments of soils contaminated with organic pollutants or heavy metals. Traditional soil investigation techniques, including chemical, physical and microbiological methods, are complemented by the most suitable modern methods, such as the use of bioreporter technology, immunological, ecotoxicological or molecular assays. Feasibility studies for bioremediation treatments complete the manual. Easy-to-follow protocols with step-by-step procedures, lists of the required equipment and reagents as well as notes on the evaluation and quality control allow immediate application. Short introductions to the principles and objectives help to assess the field of application of each procedure.

Handbook of Process Chromatography 2nd Edition: Development, Manufacturing, Validation and Economics

Handbook of Process Chromatography 2nd Edition: Development, Manufacturing, Validation and Economics

This book will update the original edition published in 1997. Since the publication of the first edition, the biotechnology and biologics industries have gained extensive knowledge and experience in downstream processing using chromatography and other technologies associated with recovery and purification unit operations. This book will tie that experience together for the next generation of readers.Updates include:- sources and productivity - types of products made today - experiences in clinical and licensed products - economics - current status of validation - illustrations and tables - automated column packing - automated systemsNew topics include:- the use of disposables - multiproduct versus dedicated production - design principles for chromatography media and filters - ultrafiltration principles and optimization - risk assessments - characterization studies - design space - platform technologies - process analytical technologies (PATs) - biogenerics - comparability assessments.
