Annotation: Membrane science and technology is an expanding field which plays a prominent part in many areas of the process industries. In the field of synthetic membranes a range of separations of the chemical/mass transfer type has developed including distillation, extraction, absorption, adsorption and stripping, as well as separations of the physical type such as filtration. Synthetic membranes are also an integral part of devices for analysis, energy generation, reactors and electrochemical cells. Although membrane separations can now routinely replace traditional separations, there is a need for the new developments in the applications and theories of membrane separation to be transmitted to industry to continue the drive forward in membrane development. This book presents new developments in the context of industrial technology and relates the principles of design to plant set-up and equipment selection. Written primarily for industrial chemical engineers and biotechnologists, this book will also be an essential reference for academic researchers in this area.

Publisher Description:
Membrane science and technology is an expanding field and has become a prominent part of many activities within the process industries. It is relatively easy to identify the success stories of membranes such as desali- nation and microfiltration and to refer to others as developing areas. This, however, does not do justice to the wide field of separations in which membranes are used. No other 'single' process offers the same potential and versatility as that of membranes. The word separation classically conjures up a model of removing one component or species from a second component, for example a mass transfer process such as distillation. In the field of synthetic membranes, the terminology 'separation' is used in a wider context. A range of separations of the chemical/mass transfer type have developed around the use of membranes including distillation, extraction, absorption, adsorption and stripping, as well as separations of the physical type such as filtration. Synthetic membranes are an integral part of devices for analysis, energy generation and reactors (cells) in the electrochemical industry.
