Publisher's Synopsis
This book provides for the first time comprehensive coverage of electro-osmosis (the flow of liquids through porous bodies under the effect of an electric field) in various systems consisting of a solution containing inorganic or organic components and an adjacent phase, generally solid, that may be homogeneous, laminated or mixed.;Following a comprehensive treatment of the theoretical foundations of electro-osmosis, Professor Tikhomolova demonstrates its specificity in application to particular problems in processes such as filtering, catalysis, and drying and emphasizes its efficiency when used in areas such as oil mining, oil and gas field prospecting, hydraulic engineering, land improvement, and construction. She also emphasizes its efficiency when used for catalysis or chemical reactions.
