Membrane Modification: Technology and Applications

Written for Analytical, Materials, and Environmental Chemists, as well as Chemical and Environmental Engineers, this reference presents the complete range of membrane modification techniques used to increase efficiency of membrane processes. Modification of different materials and geometrics include flat-sheet, hollow-fiber and nano-fiber membranes, reverse osmosis (RO), membrane distillation (MD), gas separation (GS), pervaporation(PV), and membrane fuel cells (MFC). Authors, who are Professors, Engineers, and Researchers in the field, also cover the recent advances in the field and comprehensively describes novel and most-used membrane characterization techniques. Chapters contain tables, figures, photographs, and equations to aid with reader comprehension.
