3rd Edition
by Richard W. Baker (Author)
“… the best handbook on membrane technology, which is currently on the market... ” –Membrane News (on the previous edition)
Building on the success of the previous edition, Membrane Technology and Applications Third Edition
provides a comprehensive overview of separation membranes, their
manufacture and their applications. Beginning with a series of general
chapters on membrane preparation, transport theory and concentration
polarization, the book then surveys several major areas of membrane
application in separate chapters. Written in a readily accessible style,
each chapter covers its membrane subject thoroughly, from historical
and theoretical backgrounds through to current and potential
applications. Topics include reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration,
pervaporation, microfiltration, gas separation and coupled and
facilitated transport; chapters on electrodialysis and medical
applications round out the coverage.
