Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The flamboyant years of high growth rates have passed. The industry continues
to consolidate as technology advances become more selective and sophisticated.
Now more than ever, industry participants must be kept aware of the latest
industry and research developments to remain competitive. As applications
evolve the technology needs to become more precise.
The reach of advanced membranes now extends from the food/beverage and drug
production and testing markets to the CPI, pollution, water purification,
textile, biotechnology, semiconductor manufacturing and fuel cell markets.
Enthusiasm for membrane applications and research still abounds, with
prospects for continued profitability for astute producers and users alike.
The review explores, analyzes and reports on the science, technology and
business of:
- Microfiltration
- Ultrafiltration
- Gas Separation
- Reverse Osmosis
- Pervaporation
- Electrodialysis
Commercial applications in these many diverse industries are explored in light
of membrane technology's cost-effective, energy-efficient properties,
selective transfer properties in large scale huge volumes and very small scale
applications.
In addition, this anthology, which is based on the monthly newsletter Membrane
& Separation Technology News reports on the latest news of legislative and
regulatory activities, key patents, industry developments, licenses and
technology transfer offerings.
