“… the best handbook on membrane technology,which is currently on the market… ” –MembraneNews (on the previous edition)
Building on the success of the previous edition, MembraneTechnology and Applications Third Edition provides acomprehensive overview of separation membranes, their manufactureand their applications. Beginning with a series of general chapterson membrane preparation, transport theory and concentrationpolarization, the book then surveys several major areas of membraneapplication in separate chapters. Written in a readily accessiblestyle, each chapter covers its membrane subject thoroughly, fromhistorical and theoretical backgrounds through to current andpotential applications. Topics include reverse osmosis,ultrafiltration, pervaporation, microfiltration, gas separation andcoupled and facilitated transport; chapters on electrodialysis andmedical applications round out the coverage.
