All major membrane processes are discussed, and an economic analysis is provided. Separation processes such as RO, UF, MF, RO, PRO and MD are thoroughly discussed.
During the last two decades, the scope of the R&D of membrane separation processes has been significantly broadened. Other sections in the book cover membrane contactor and membrane adsorption. In addition, hybrid systems in which two or more membrane systems are combined are now being investigated for large-scale applications.
- Written by renowned experts with extensive experience with industry, education and R&D who have complementary expertise
- In-depth coverage of the most important conventional and emerging membrane processes
- Provides fundamental membrane theories for solving problems in separation processes without using complicated software
