Polyamide Thin Film Composite Membranes for Water Applications

Advanced Characterization Techniques

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The global market for polymeric membranes used in water and wastewater treatment is experiencing robust growth, with polyamide (PA) thin film composite (TFC) membranes dominating reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) processes. This monograph presents the latest trends in characterization techniques for PA TFC membranes and provides the most current and relevant information on these techniques tailored specifically for TFC NF and RO membranes.

Features

- Focuses solely on the characterization of PA TFC membranes used in water and wastewater treatment.

- Provides the latest insights into employing advanced and emerging characterization tools to analyze the intrinsic properties of the PA selective layer and evaluate the overall performance of PA TFC membranes during filtration processes.

- Extensively examines the strengths and limitations of each membrane characterization tool, offering in-depth analyses for readers.

This book is an indispensable reference and practical guide for advanced students, researchers, and scientists involved in NF and RO membrane fabrication and characterization, including those in the fields of chemical, materials, and environmental engineering.
