Ion exchange separations are essential parts of different techniques and technologies. Various applications can be found in biochemical industry, pharmacy, medicine, food production, waste treatments, microelectronics, nuclear industry, and many other areas. Ion exchange is a powerful tool in chenical analysis as well as in chemical and biochemical research. Principles explained in the course can be applied to many other (non-separation) processes. For example, ion exchange is an essential part of processes taking place in soils and grounds. Importance of ion exchange in biological systems can not be underestimated. Many other areas can be named. One can find applications of relevant knowledge in widest areas of human activity.
