Baker 1 Wiley 2023 Wiley 2023 560pp.; text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier text file rdaft PDF Membrane Technology and Applications Internationally acknowledged text on separation membrane technology, presenting current theory and practice, plus manufacturing and applications The 4th Edition of Membrane Technology and Applications presents an authoritative, up-to-date overview of separation membranes, their theoretical underpinnings, manufacture, and use, beginning with a series of general chapters on membrane preparation, transport theory, and concentration polarization, then surveying the major areas of membrane application in separate chapters. Written in a readily accessible style, each chapter offers a thorough treatment of its subject, from historical and theoretical backgrounds through to current and potential applications. Topics include reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, microfiltration, gas separation, pervaporation, electrodialysis, coupled and facilitated transport, and medical applications of membranes. This new edition has been comprehensively updated, with substantial new material, figures, and references throughout to reflect the latest developments in the field. Major changes include: A new chapter on transport mechanisms in finely microporous membranes, with focus on gas transport A new chapter on membrane contactors A substantially expanded section on hyperfiltration applications, including pharmaceutical applications, in the reverse osmosis chapter Expanded treatment of membrane bioreactors, plus a new section on biotechnology applications, in the ultrafiltration chapter A new section in the gas separation chapter devoted to carbon dioxide capture from industrial process emissions, including power plant emissions Research areas that the author would work on if he were, once again, a 21-year-old graduate student. Written by a leading expert with 50 years of experience, Membrane Technology and Applications provides balanced coverage of all aspects of the field, and is essential reading for all membrane enthusiasts, from neophyte graduate student to academic researcher to seasoned industry professional.
