Foreword
The.International.Solvent.Extraction.Conferences.(ISECs).have.been.held.every.
3.years.since.1971.in.various.countries.around.the.world..The.1999.conference.
(ISEC99).was.held.in.Barcelona,.Spain..It.was.organized.under.the.concept.of.being.
a.“good.soup,”.so.the.best.ingredients.were.combined.both.to.have.a.good.taste.
and.to.provide.the.best.healthy.nutrition.to.grow.on.solvent.extraction.fundamen-
tals.and.applications..Under.this.concept.the.Organizing.Committee.decided.to.
cook.ISEC99.with.a.special.ingredient.by.preceding.the.conference.with.a.Summer.
School.addressing.the.principles.and.applications.of.solvent.extraction.for.the.ben-
efit.of.students.and.newcomers.to.this.widely.used.technique.in.separation.science..
Although.this.idea.of.providing.short.courses.on.topics.related.to.the.main.confer-
ence.is.an.established.practice.elsewhere,.this.was.the.first.time.such.a.course.was.
offered.as.part.of.an.ISEC..The.aim.of.the.course.organizers.was.to.provide.a.fairly.
comprehensive.overview.of.the.fundamental.and.practical.applications.of.solvent.
extraction,.so.they.contacted.a.number.of.internationally.recognized.experts.to.talk.
about.their.particular.fields.of.interest.
As.a.result,.this.publication.represents.a.good.recipe.to.feed.the.present.and.
future.newcomers.to.the.solvent.extraction.community..Thus,.the.text.presents.the.
perspectives.of.solvent.extraction.(SX).in.the.twenty-first.century,.a.new.focus.of.fun-
damentals.of.solvent.extraction,.renewed.topics.of.calculations.on.extraction.equilib-
ria,.liquid.membranes,.and.industrial.applications..The.book.also.introduces.topics.
of.new.materials.and.solid.sorbents.for.solvent.extraction.including.the.improved.
and.developing.topic.of.solvent.impregnated.resins..The.content.of.this.publication,.
presented.with.a.tutorial.focus,.will.benefit.the.understanding.of.solvent.extraction.
for.today’s.practice.
