Basic Equations Of Mass Transport Through A Membrane Layer

Basic Equations of Mass Transport through a Membrane Layer, Second Edition, offers the important knowledge essential for compound separation, product removing, concentration and production in the chemical, biochemical, pharmaceutical and food industries. The book outlines various membrane processes and their applications, offering a detailed mathematical description of mass transport and defining basic mass transport and concentration distribution expressions. In addition, the book discusses the process parameters and the application of the expressions developed for a variety of industrial applications. Readers will find detailed explanations of convective-diffusive mass transport, both with and without polarization layers, that help predict and process performance and facilitate improvements to operation conditions and efficiency. Cites and analyzes mass transport equations developed for different membrane processes with/without a polarization layer (e.g., reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, pressure retarded and forward osmosis, pervaporation, gas separation, membrane reactors, etc.) Analyzes the effect of biochemical/chemical reactions in the presence of convective and diffusive flows in plane and cylindrical spaces Defines the mass transfer rate for first- and zero-order reactions in closed mathematical forms Includes the properties and applications of these topics
