Kurzbeschreibung
Membrane manufacturing processes are sensitive to operating conditions and raw material properties, making quality control a key concern in the industry. This book comprehensively covers the manufacturing and industrial applications of membranes plus quality management and Six Sigma, along with providing membrane fundamentals. Considering future prospects and the strategically important issues in membrane technology as well, Membranes: Fundamentals, Manufacturing, and Applications is an important reference tool and source for professionals in industries such as water treatment, pharmaceutical companies, and fuel cell processing.
Advanced membranes--from fundamentals and membrane chemistry to manufacturing and applications
A hands-on reference for practicing professionals, Advanced Membrane Technology and Applications covers the fundamental principles and theories of separation and purification by membranes, the important membrane processes and systems, and major industrial applications. It goes far beyond the basics to address the formulation and industrial manufacture of membranes and applications.
This practical guide:
* Includes coverage of all the major types of membranes: ultrafiltration; microfiltration; nanofiltration; reverse osmosis (including the recent high-flux and low-pressure membranes and anti-fouling membranes); membranes for gas separations; and membranes for fuel cell uses
* Addresses six major topics: membranes and applications in water and wastewater; membranes for biotechnology and chemical/biomedical applications; gas separations; membrane contractors and reactors; environmental and energy applications; and membrane materials and characterization
* Includes discussions of important strategic issues and the future of membrane technology
With chapters contributed by leading experts in their specific areas and a practical focus, this is the definitive reference for professionals in industrial manufacturing and separations and research and development; practitioners in the manufacture and applications of membranes; scientists in water treatment, pharmaceutical, food, and fuel cell processing industries; process engineers; and others. It is also an excellent resource for researchers in industry and academia and graduate students taking courses in separations and membranes and related fields.
