An understanding of ligand-substrate interactions is important to the design of polymer -supported reagents for the selective comple-xation of a single species in a multi-component solution. Such polymers may be applied to the environmental separation of ions and molecules as well as in chemical sensors and as novel catalysts. A series of polymers has been synthesized where substrate selectivity arises through the polymer s bifunctionality. The dual inechanimii bifunctional polyn rs are described and applied as both polymer beads and membranes for the selective complexation of metal ions and molecules.

Based upon sources of pollution and the nature of polluted sites (air, land, or water), environmental separations can be categorized as follows. 

Environmental separations can appiy to the clean-up of existing problems as well as pollution prevention. 

The book contains many worked examples and homework problems. It is an ideal textbook for undergraduate and graduate students taking courses on environmental separations or environmental engineering.
