Description
Description
Membrane Separation Processes: Theories, Problems, and Solutions 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 occur in membrane separation processes. 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.
