Robert A. Johnson & Minh H. Nguyen 
Understanding Membrane Distillation and Osmotic Distillation [EPUB ebook] 

This book addresses principles and practical applications of membrane distillation and osmotic distillation, separation technologies which are gaining increasing attention due to their advantages over conventional concentration processes.

* Addresses membrane and osmotic distillation, two closely related and novel processes that offer several advantages over conventional concentration processes
* Has a widespread impact and application of the technology in industries such as food, environment, and nuclear clean-up / containment
* Covers theoretical aspects of both processes, the properties of hydrophobic membranes, process economics, integrated processes and future prospects.
* Caters the presentation caters for the diversity of readership with respect to links with membrane technologies.
