| Abstract | "This book addresses both fundamental principles and practical application aspects of the subject. Topics discussed in the book cover both the conventional and advanced membrane separation processes utilized in various industrial applications. These processes include microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis, forward osmosis, membrane distillation, electrodialysis and dialysis, membrane gas and vapor separation, pervaporation, liquid membrane separation, extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO), biosensor, hydrogel membranes, and micellar enhanced membrane separation. Inspite of the fact that several membrane processes, like microfiltration, ultrafiltration, and reverse osmosis, are described in details in a number of books, advanced processes involving ion-exchange membrane separation, liquid membrane separations, electromembrane processes, micellar enhanced membrane processes are only discussed in a fragmented way mainly in scientific journals and patents. Even though these separation processes have existed for over half a century and also find their applications in several industrial domains. Further, nowadays several membrane applications are there in biomedical field from sensing biomarkers to tissue engineering, which are briefly elaborated in this book. Therefore, this book will provide a comprehensive overview on several membrane related processes covering the basics as well as recent developments of the processes and their applications. Several relevant case-studies will also be included for helping readers to link the fundamental concepts of the theory behind the processes with the application aspect. This book will benefit heterogeneous audience including practitioners, process engineers, researchers and students in chemical engineering, biochemical engineering, and environmental engineering. This book can be referred by someone who wishes to learn about the fundamental principles and a general area of application as well as by the knowledgeable scholar person seeking more detailed information about the recent advancement in membrane separation technologies"-- Provided by publisher. |
