Membrane Technology and Applications

Angebote / Angebote:

Internationally acknowledged text on membrane technology, presenting current theory and practice of engineering separation membranes, plus manufacturing and applications The newly revised and updated 4th Edition of Membrane Technology and Applications presents an authoritative overview of separation membranes, their theoretical underpinnings, manufacture, and use, beginning with a series of general chapters on membrane preparation, transport theory, and concentration polarization, then surveying several major areas of membrane application in separate chapters. Written in a readily accessible style, each chapter covers its membrane subject thoroughly, from historical and theoretical backgrounds through to current and potential applications. Topics include reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, pervaporation, microfiltration, gas separation, and coupled and facilitated transport, chapters on electrodialysis and medical applications round out the coverage. Changes for the new edition include a full revision of the Third Edition to reflect today's reality with the addition of new material and references as appropriate. Written by a highly qualified author with nearly 40 years of experience in the field, Membrane Technology and Applications includes information on: * Ion exchange and electrodialysis, covering a long list of different small applications with new additions around flow through batteries and capacitive desalination * Medical applications of membranes, with a new description and overview of the current state of the industry * Other membrane processes, such as osmotic distillation, forward osmosis, and other key processes that don't fit neatly into other chapters * Research areas that the author would work on if he were, once again, a 21-year-old graduate student Membrane Technology and Applications provides essential coverage of the subject for industrial workers in the field of membrane technology seeking a balanced overview of related processes. Membrane industry professionals and researchers, along with graduate students in membrane technology, will also benefit greatly from the text.
