This material is presented with a clarity that makes it readily accessible tothe beginner, yet is sufficiently thorough to be a valuable refresher for theexperienced membranologist. Thereafter, each major membrane application, including reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, microfiltration, gas separation, pervaporation, and electrodialysis, is treated in its own chapter.Topics covered include membrane materials, process design, technical and economic comparison with other separations technologies, and integration with other plant operations.Emphasis throughout is on industrial practice, and numerous tables present real life performance data and operating parameters that are seldom available inthe open literature.New to this third edition:Material on fuel cells has beenadded to the ion exchange membrane chapter.Bioethanol (almost absent in the last edition) is covered in the pervaporation chapter.The chapter on medical applications has been fully revised to incorporate new membrane applications targeted towards blood purification, artificial organs and tissue engineering.Battery separators and chlor-alkali membranes are covered.Greenhouse gas capture and sequestration have been included in the gas separation chapter.
