Various separation membranes have been developed since their
discovery over half a century ago, providing numerous benefits and
fulfilling many applications in our everyday lives. They lend
themselves to techniques ranging from microfiltration and gas
separation, to what can be considered as the most advanced
technique - ion exchange. This book, aimed at academic researchers,
engineers and industrialists, contains a brief history of ion
exchange and goes on to explain the preparation, characterization,
modification and applications of these important membranes.
Discussions include the use of ion exchange in analytical and
medical techniques, as well as the development of future
applications.

"The foundry was working at full pressure. In spite of the dismal
conditions - the stifling heat, the silica dust that hung in clouds
in the air, the crude ventilation, and the strenuous labour - the
men seemed happy and companionable. A certain measure of security
had come at last after the long years of unemployment; the dread of
the dole was behind them".Life in the foundry is changing Ieuan
Morgan, whose hands, once familiar only with the feel of books are
now dark, knotted and fiercely strong. He dreams of writing and the
day his young love Sally will come home from the convalescence
home. When that day arrives Ieuan's life starts to feel complete
and marriage only deepens that conviction. But much longed for
success with hiswriting brings with it new temptations, when Stella
Courtland, the sophisticated editor of a fashionable magazine
enters the young man's life.Ride the White Stallion is the sequel
to Farewell Innocence, charting the trials and travails of Ieuan
Morgan at the foundry and in his family life. It is an account of a
young man's creative awakening amid the challenges of domestic
penury and downright hard graft. A portrait of an industrial town
as well as a convincing character study, Ride the White Stallion is
shot through with truth and honesty, twin hallmarks of
Glynne-Jones's work.
"A world of green: a new and weird world of grim, dark shadows and
frenzied activity; of conflicting sounds varying from the roar and
thunder of overhead gantries, the sharp, shrill staccato beat of
automatic hammers, to the echoing ring of steel upon steel, and the
hollow wheezing and thumping of the hydraulic moulding
machines".Starting as an apprentice at Bevan's foundry, Ieuan
Morgan enters a new and testing world. His colleagues soon turn out
to be his tormentors while life at home is not without its
challenges. It is hard for the young man to sustain his dreams of
one day being a writer, and of a better world. Things have to get
worse before getting better so unemployment casts its long shadow
over the town. But the lay-offs give the gifted Ieuan time to read
and think and on a visit to the fair to meet Sally, a gentle,
consumptiveyoung woman from the wrong side of the tracks.With this,
his destiny changes course. Written with a deep authenticity born
from bitter experience, William Glynne-Jones depicts life in the
fictional town of Abermor and especially the daily grind of foundry
life, in a workplace fraught with dangers. Farewell Innocence is a
heartfelt and affecting account of a young man's rites of passage
in hard times.
