Liquid Separations with Membranes

An Introduction to Barrier Interference

Beschreibung

This book presents a self-consistent approach to separations of liquids with membranes, contrasting equilibrium separations with the rate-controlling effects of barrier interference on mass transfer. Unlike equilibrium separations, which depend on the thermodynamic condition of the fluid mixtures alone, barrier separations additionally are subject to specific interactions of the mixture components with the barrier. While the thermodynamics of fluid mixtures is predictable and open to adjustment, barrier interference adds another dimension to the repertoire of separation effects. Exploiting barrier interference is the challenge of membrane separation science and technology. This book is about the principles behind.

This second edition incorporates the remarkable new developments especially in the field of hydrophobicity of surfaces and closely connected membrane distillation. Additionally, the new edition includes a chapter on Electrodialysis and its potential for energy efficient seawater desalination.

Autor

Karl W. Böddeker became Professor at Technical University Hamburg (TUHH) while he already was well known as an expert on desalination and pervaporation in the scientific community, both in EMS and NAMS. He retired from GKSS Research in 2005 but is still active as lecturer at TUHH. He served as an editor for the Journal of Membrane Science and still is an active editor for Membrane News, the quarterly newsletter of the European Membrane Society (EMS).

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"This work is ... a little gem. Böddeker (Technische Universität Hamburg, Germany) describes the physical principles involved in a number of membrane separation techniques including osmosis, reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, and pervaporation. ... The appendixes are particularly helpful, providing useful reference tables and electron micrographs. ... this is an excellent book for advanced students and professionals interested in understanding more about membrane separations. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals." (J. M. Tomich, CHOICE, Vol. 45 (11), July, 2008)
