Fundamental Modeling of Membrane Systems: Membrane and Process Performance

Fundamental Modelling of Membrane Systems: Membrane and Process Performance summarizes the state-of-the-art modeling approaches for all significant membrane processes, from molecular transport, to process level, helping researchers and students who carry out experimental research save time and accurately interpret experimental data. The book provides an overview of the different membrane technologies, handling micro-, ultra-, and nanofiltration, reverse and forward osmosis, pervaporation, gas permeation, liquid membranes, membrane contractors, bioreactors and ion-exchange systems. Examples of membrane system modeling based on several simulation technologies are included.

Presents an accessible reference on how to model membranes and membrane processesProvides a clear, mathematical description of mass transfer in membrane systemsWritten by well-known, prominent authors in the field of membrane science
