When a surface consists of larger structures one instead wishes to monitor the surface topography. Analysis of scattering from rough surfaces is highly complex and relies on prior knowledge of surface structure. In this work a device movin

Genom ett examensarbete vid Lunds UniversitetPreparative chromatography is an important process step for separation and purification of fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and other biotechnical products. The technique mainly used in the pharmaceutical and fine chemistry industries is single-column batch chromatography (BC). The major drawback of BC is the trade-off between product purity and process performance. A high purity of the product co
