The field of membrane separation technology is presently in a state
of rapid growth and innovation. Many different membrane separation
processes have been developed during the past half century and new
processes are constantly emerging from academic, industrial, and
governmental laboratories. While new membrane separation processes
are being conceived with remarkable frequency, existing processes
are also being constantly improved in order to enhance their
economic competitiveness. Significant improvements are currently
being made in many aspects of membrane separation technology: in
the development of new membrane materials with higher selectivity
and/or permeability, in the fabrication methods for high-flux
asymmetric or composite membranes, in membrane module construction
and in process design. Membrane separation technology is presently
being used in an impressive variety of applications and has
generated businesses totalling over one billion U.S. dollars
annually.
The main objective of this book is to present the principles and
applications of a variety of membrane separation processes from the
unique perspectives of investigators who have made important
contributions to their fields. Another objective is to provide the
reader with an authoritative resource on various aspects of this
rapidly growing technology. The text can be used by someone who
wishes to learn about a general area of application as well as by
the knowledgeable person seeking more detailed information.
