"... 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.
NEW TO THE THIRD EDITION
* New sections on the use of membranes in the chlor-alkaliindustry, membrane distillation, pressure retarded osmosis andconstant flux-variable pressure ultrafiltration
* Zeolite and ceramic membranes, submerged membrane modules, andfuel cell membranes
* Substantially enhanced chapters on ultrafiltration,pervaporation and membrane contactors
* Updates to every chapter to reflect the developments in thefield
