Fundamentals of Membrane Separation Technology provides a comprehensive and systematic introduction to this environmentally friendly separation process. Using a structured format that promotes comprehension and implementation each chapter provides overviews, principles, materials and preparation, and industrial applications. Each chapter then concludes with future prospects, references, and end of chapter exercises.
Written for students and professionals, this book is an ideal reference for those who wish to better understand the fundamentals and applications of membrane technology.
