‚… the best handbook on membrane technology,
which is currently on the market… ‚ -Membrane
News (on the previous edition)
Building on the success of the previous edition, Membrane
Technology and Applications Third Edition provides a
comprehensive overview of separation membranes, their manufacture
and their applications. Beginning with a series of general chapters
on membrane preparation, transport theory and concentration
polarization, the book then surveys 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.
