This book describes comprehensive, integrated view of separation science backed by discussions about simple extraction and partition processes to give better understanding of chromatography and membrane separations. It paves way for understanding of fundamental physical and chemical phenomena involved in separations and transport reactions.?
Jayshree Ramkumar obtained her MSc (Analytical Chemistry) in 1993 from Madras University, Chennai and joined Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) Training School, Mumbai in the same year. After completing one year orientation course in Nuclear Science and Technology, she joined the Analytical Chemistry Division of BARC in 1994. She is also an Associate Professor (Chemistry) at Homi Bhabha National Institute (HBNI), Mumbai. She has been involved in research in areas of separation science and analytical chemistry. Her PhD was on the studies using Nafion membranes and bulk liquid membrane for achieving separation of various species like metal ions and organic compounds. She was awarded MANA fellowship for carrying out postdoctoral research at National Institute of Materials Science, (NIMS) Tsukuba, Japan. Her work involved the synthesis of mesoporous materials for applications as sorbents for removal of toxic species. She has been collaborating with universities through the BRNS and AERB projects as the principal collaborator. She has reviewed BRNS, AERB and DST project proposals for their suitability for funding. She is member of Doctoral committee of HBNI, Editorial board of journals and serves as external examiner for PhD students of different Universities. She has more than 75 publications including papers in international journals and book chapters to her credit.
