Membrane Modification

This reference presents the complete range of membrane modification techniques used to increase the efficiency of membrane processes. Modification of different materials in various geometrical forms include flat-sheet, hollow-fiber, and nano-fiber membranes for applications using different membrane processes such as reverse osmosis, membrane distillation, gas separation, pervaporation, and membrane fuel cells. Contributors also cover recent advances, including novel and frequently used membrane characterization techniques. Each chapter contains tables, figures, illustrations, photographs, and theoretical equations to aid with reader comprehension.
