Separation Process Principles Description
Completely rewritten to enhance clarity, this third edition provides engineers with a strong understanding of the field. With the help of an additional co-author, the text presents new information on bioseparations throughout the chapters. A new chapter on mechanical separations covers settling, filtration, and centrifugation, including mechanical separations in biotechnology and cell lysis. Boxes help highlight fundamental equations. Numerous new examples and exercises are integrated throughout as well. In addition, frequent references are made to the software products and simulators that will help engineers find the solutions they need.

This textbook is riddled with typos in crucial formulae and otherwise written in an extremely unclear fashion, where simple concepts are explained in an unnecessarily complicated manner. The parameters and assumptions for chapter problems are stated extremely unclearly. Seader, Henley, and Roper, your insistence on the widespread use of misplaced modifiers renders this textbook absolutely unsuitable for an introduction to separation processes. One might expect that three editions would have given the authors and editors enough time and experience to address these issues, but one would be disappointed. I would not recommend this text to any chemical engineer. Shame on Wiley for producing such an incompetent product.

This one is par for the course. It contains formulae and examples that fit well with the lectures. It covers the basics or separations from absorbers and strippers. Though it is a good companion to my teacher's lectures, he also puts up supplemental notes that go into more detail. All told, this book is an acceptable companion, but not something so brilliant that I could read it and skip class and still feel even remotely comfortable on the test.
