Membranes in Clean Technologies

With well over 6,000 pertinent references, this is a practical ‘how to do’ for either reengineering existing technologies or implementing innovative processes.<br> After an introduction to the development of clean technology concepts, the first part looks at the theory and engineering of membrane processes. Part 2 deals with membranes in such industries as water, textiles, paper, metal plating, pharmaceuticals and food. The final part discusses materials management, including metals, acids, and hydrocarbons separations.<br> Finally, an appendix lists membrane manufacturers and companies dealing with clean technologies, as well as various lists of toxic, harmful or prohibited substances.
