Membrane Separation Processes

At the end of the last millennium, membrane separation processes were limited to the pressure driven processes such as RO, UF, MF, membrane gas separation and pervaporation, as well as electro-dialysis. During the last two decades, the scope of the R&D of membrane separation processes has been significantly broadened. In addition to the above-mentioned separation processes, FO, PRO, MD, membrane contactor, membrane adsorption etc. have been investigated. Most importantly, hybrid systems in which two or more membrane systems are combined are now being investigated for large scale applications. Membrane Separation Processes provides graduate and senior undergraduate students and membrane researchers in academia and industry with the fundamental knowledge on the topic by explaining the underlying theory that is indispensable for solving problems that can occur in membrane separation processes. In the book, all major membrane processes are discussed and an economic analysis is provided. Written by renowned experts with extensive experience with industry, education and R&D who have complementary expertiseIn-depth coverage of the most important conventional and emerging membrane processesProvides fundamental membrane theories for solving problems in separation processes without using complicated software
