Written by a dedicated lecturer and leading membrane scientist, who
has worked both in academia and industry, this advanced textbook
provides an impressive overview of all aspects of membranes and
their applications. Together with numerous industrial case studies,
practical examples and questions, the book provides an excellent
and comprehensive introduction to the topic. Advanced students as
well as process and chemical engineers working in industry will
profit from this resource. A significant feature of the book is the
treatment of more recently developed membranes and their
applications in energy conversion, biomedical components,
controlled release devices and environmental engineering with an
indication of the present and future commercial impact. The
solutions to the questions in the book can be found under

the Contents: * Introduction * Fundamentals * Membrane Preparation
and Characterization * Principles of Membrane Separation Processes
* Membrane Modules and Concentration Polarization * Membrane
Process Design and Operation
Today, membranes and membrane processes are used as efficient tools
for the separation of liquid mixtures or gases in the chemical and
biomedical industry, in water desalination and wastewater
purification.
Despite the fact that various membrane processes, like reverse
osmosis, are described in great detail in a number of books,
processes involving ion-exchange membranes are only described in a
fragmented way in scientific journals and patents; even though
large industrial applications, like electrodialysis, have been
around for over half a century. Therefore, this book is emphasizing
on the most relevant aspects of ion-exchange membranes.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of ion-exchange
membrane separation processes covering the fundamentals as well as
recent developments of the different products and processes and
their applications. The audience for this book is heterogeneous, as
it includes plant managers and process engineers as well as
research scientists and graduate students.
The separate chapters are based on different topics. The first
chapter describes the relevant Electromembrane processes in a
general overview. The second chapter explains thermodynamic and
physicochemical fundamentals. The third chapter gives information
about ion-exchange membrane preparation techniques, while the
fourth and fifth chapter discusses the processes as unit operations
giving examples for the design of specific plants.
1. First work on the principles and applications of electrodialysis
and related separation processes.
2. Presently no other comprehensive work that can serve as both
reference work and text book is available
3. Book is suited for teaching students and as source for detailed
information
