"Membrane Separation Processes" by Kaushik Nath is a comprehensive textbook for engineering students, detailing fundamental principles, mathematical modeling, and industrial applications of membrane technology. The second edition covers MF, UF, NF, RO, and advanced topics like pervaporation, with a focus on both industrial and biomedical applications. For more details, visit PHI Learning .
Techniques for evaluating pore size, permeability, and chemical resistance. Key Membrane Processes Covered
Focuses on desalination and the removal of hazardous impurities like VOCs.
If you manage to get a hold of this text (print or digital), pay special attention to these chapters:
In the world of chemical engineering, biotechnology, and environmental science, few innovations have revolutionized industrial separation techniques as profoundly as membrane technology. From purifying drinking water to concentrating fruit juices and filtering pharmaceutical products, are the silent workhorses of modern industry.
Defined as ( R = 1 - (C_p / C_f) ), where ( C_p ) is permeate concentration and ( C_f ) is feed concentration. A perfect membrane has ( R = 1 ). Nath provides extensive tables of expected R values for various solutes.
