Membrane Gas Separation

Conceived to give a snapshot of the current situation in this applied chemistry area described by experts in this field, this book provides the most recent and emerging results, supplementing the Editors book published by Wiley in 2006 to give the reader a feeling how this field is developing. This book′s inter–disciplinary approach for theoreticians and experimentalists for future cross–fertilization of understanding and developments in the areas of membranes including polymer technology and green chemistry applications. This book is both a consistent and readable introduction to this phenomena.
