Description

Progresses in Ammonia: Science, Technology, and Membranes: Production and Separation covers the production and separation of ammonia. Ammonia is considered a very important inorganic basic. It plays an essential role in the manufacture of fertilizer, as well as in the production of plastics, fibers, explosives, and intermediates for dyes and pharmaceuticals. Beginning with the discussion of composite membrane–based systems, this book explores ammonia synthesis, ammonia separation through membrane distillation, ammonia recovery from wastewater and salty liquids, and ammonia emission control. Model-based analysis has also been used extensively in this book through various case studies. Therefore this book is a valuable resource for postgraduate students, researchers, energy producers, and R&D managers.
