Sommario/riassunto

Advances in Membrane Technologies for Water Treatment: Materials, Processes and Applications provides a detailed overview of advanced water treatment methods involving membranes, which are increasingly seen as effective replacements for a range of conventional water treatment methods.   The text begins with reviews of novel membrane materials and advances in membrane operations, then examines the processes involved with improving membrane performance.    Final chapters cover the application of membrane technologies for use in water treatment, with detailed discussions on municipal wastewater
