Publisher's Synopsis
Proceedings of an October 14-19, 2001 conference Membrane technology is an important part of the separation technology. Its usage in the industry is growing due to its versatility and low-energy consumption as compared with other separation and purification processes, such as distillation and crystallization. Because of industrial needs and the advances in material science, many new membrane materials are being developed, which should make their related separation processes more efficient. The volume broadly addresses the field of membranes and membrane processes. It highlights new developments in the field, as well as research opportunities for the future.
