 About The Book  

Unit operations-II comprises of 12 chapters: size reduction, size separation, mixing (solids, liquids, immiscible liquids and semisolids), extraction, gas absorption, ion exchange, distillation, evaporation, crystallization, drying, environmental pollution & control and pharmaceutical industry - establishment.
This edition included three new chapters, extraction, gas absorption, and ion-exchange. Question bank include multiple choice questions (MCQs), ‘A’ type in order to sharpen the saw on the concepts.
