Wiley Encyclopedia of Membrane Science and Technology, 3 Volume Set

Foreword by Professor Menachem Elimelech, Yale University, USAThis 3-volume thematic work provides critical assessment of the status and advancements in materials and fabrication of membranes, membrane based processes, and applications critical to industrial applications and research from fundamental and practical levels. The Encyclopedia of Membrane Science and Technology binds together the history of synthetic membranes, as well as state-of-the-art findings of younger and experienced membrane researchers from over 25 countries. This comprehensive publication considers the fast growing interest in synthetic membranes and their many applications, including drinking water purification, gas separations, food technology, biotechnology, drug delivery devices, rechargeable batteries and fuel cells. An essential reference in this fast growing area of synthetic membranes and their many applications Provides useful descriptions of membrane materials and processes, with a focus on environmentally friendly approaches Global contributions, including many from the younger generation of membrane researchers, who give the work a valuable and fresh outlook The Encyclopedia of Membrane Science and Technology provides valuable insight on the latest developments, such as Membrane separation and transport; Materials, characterization, and module design; Fundamentals of membrane separation processes; Applications of membrane technology in various industries; A collection of reference information on all aspects of science and technologyThe Encyclopedia of Membrane Science and Technology covers the following topics:membraneSolution-Diffusion ProcessesUltra-, Micro-, and NanofiltrationProcessesGas Transport MembranesFouling in Membrane BioreactorsMicro-Engineered MembranesPorositySurface Modifications of MembranesInorganic MembranesCarbon MembranesMembrane CharacterizationDynamic Crossflow FiltrationMultiple Osmosis ProcessesMembrane ElectrolysisNatural Gas PurificationCatalytic Membrane ReactorsSeawater DesalinationApplications of Membranes in BiotechnologyApplications to Wastewater Treatment and ReusePolymer Membranes for Fuel CellsFood Industry ApplicationsPolymeric Membranes for Energy ApplicationsApplications in Nuclear Waste ProcessingEnantioselective Membranes3 Volumeswileyonlinelibrary.com/ref/emstOnline Version:Visit wileyonlinelibrary.com/ref/emst to see the topics currently available, browse article abstracts and read sample articles.To set up a FREE trial, please contact your local agent, your Wiley Account Manager, or email libraryinfo@wiley.com About the Author Eric M.
