The plan of this book is to present the relevant thermodynamic features of fluid mixtures in contact with semipermeable barriers, then to apply this information in deriving the design requirements of individual membrane separation processes. The membranes, by this approach, are introduced by way of the mass transport and selectivity demands which they are to meet. This book gives a survey, in systematic order, of the terms and concepts by which barrier separations operate.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
From the reviews:
"This work is . a little gem. Böddeker (Technische Universität Hamburg, Germany) describes the physical principles involved in a number of membrane separation techniques including osmosis, reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, and pervaporation. . The appendixes are particularly helpful, providing useful reference tables and electron micrographs. . this is an excellent book for advanced students and professionals interested in understanding more about membrane separations. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals." (J. M. Tomich, CHOICE, Vol. 45 (11), July, 2008)
