Description Today, membranes and membrane processes are used as efficient tools for the separation of liquid mixtures or gases in the chemical and
biomedical industry, in water desalination and wastewater purification.
Despite the fact that various membrane processes, like reverse
osmosis, are described in great detail in a number of books, processes involving ion-exchange membranes are only described in a fragmented
way in scientific journals and patents; even though large industrial applications, like electrodialysis, have been around for over half
a century. Therefore, this book is emphasizing on the most relevant aspects of ion-exchange membranes.
This book provides a comprehensive
overview of ion-exchange membrane separation processes covering the fundamentals as well as recent developments of the different products
and processes and their applications. The audience for this book is heterogeneous, as it includes plant managers and process engineers
as well as research scientists and graduate students.
The separate chapters are based on different topics. The first chapter describes
the relevant Electromembrane processes in a general overview. The second chapter explains thermodynamic and physicochemical fundamentals.
The third chapter gives information about ion-exchange membrane preparation techniques, while the fourth and fifth chapter discusses
the processes as unit operations giving examples for the design of specific plants.
Audience
Research scientists, graduate students, plant managers and process engineers in chemical engineering, environmental engineering, biotechnology,
technical chemistry, chemical technology, biotechnology, water desalination and waste water treatment, pollution control etc.
