Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The success of two membrane processes, reverse osmosis and ultrafiltration, has helped make membrane processes a central technique in solving separation problems for fluid systems. This book discusses the various applications and developments in membrane technology and shows how accurate membrane processes can be designed. Starting with the local transport phenomena, the behavior of individual elements such as tube or plate membranes and the behavior of the technical unit--the module--are discussed in detail. The book goes on to demonstrate the most effective ways of arranging modules for forming an optimal plant.
Includes bibliographical references and index.

CHOICE Review
Membranes have been developed recently into useful elements for composition separations in a wide range of chemical processes. Rautenbach and Albrecht document the current state of the art. After a short general review of the various processes using membranes, they discuss the chemistry, structure, and properties of the membranes themselves. This is clearly the critical factor in the technology. This discussion gives a good overview of current membrane development and is well augumented by a good reference list. The authors then present thoroughly the mass transport fundamentals occurring in membranes and at the membrane surface, membrane module design and the cascading of modules, and finally, the application of membranes in specific process technology. This is a thorough presentation meant for engineering designers and researchers. Graphs, tables, figures, and equations are numerous; reference lists are thorough and modern. Strongly recommended for libraries serving advanced-level engineers and materials scientists. -L. A. Wenzel, Lehigh UniversityAuthor notes provided by Syndetics
