Inorganic membranes are being used more and more in chemical, petroleum, pharmaceutical, food, biotechnology, waste, and water industries. Membrane separation, in particular, is now recognized as a vital tool for food and beverage processing, waste and wastewater treatment, paper processing, sterilization, and other biotechnological applications. This volume offers information on all aspects of development and utilization of inorganic membranes, with particular emphasis on synthesis, characteristics and applications. Readers will see how to improve the design, efficiency, and operation of separation units, as well as gain valuable insight into newly developed and emerging techniques of membrane modification for use in commercial applications. This book should be of interest to chemical engineers; chemists; biochemical engineers; food technologists; pharmacists; and other scientists.
