Principles of Membrane Processes in Liquid SeparationTheories, Models, and Quantitative Analysis\nAuthor(s): Lianfa Song\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: CRC Press\nISBN-13: 9781041247906, 978-1041247906\nSynopsis\nPrinciples of Membrane Processes in Liquid Separation fills a gap in membrane science by focusing on fundamental principles rather than materials or applications. It covers three key areas: the distinction between concentration polarization and cake formation in membrane processes, state equation modeling for reverse osmosis desalination optimization, and mechanisms of water and ion transport across membranes. The text provides theoretical foundations while offering practical insights for improved membrane process design and operation, serving both as an educational resource for students and a reference for engineering professionals.\n\nThis book:\n\nAddresses fundamental principles of membrane processes in liquid separation s
