It has established applications in areas such as hydrogen separation and recovery of organic vapors from process gas streams, and selective transport of organic solvents, and it is opening new perspectives for catalytic conversion in membrane reactors. Membrane technology provides a unique solution for industrial waste treatment and for controlled production of valuable chemicals.<br> <br> This book outlines several established applications of membranes in the chemical industry, reviews the available membranes and membrane processes for the field, and discusses the huge potential of this technology in chemical processes. <br> <br> Each chapter has been written by an international leading expert with extensive industrial experience in the field. 04 02 List of Contributors. <P> MEMBRANE MATERIALS AND MEMBRANE PREPARATION. <P> Introduction. <P> Membrane Market. <P> Membrane Preparation. <P> Presently Available Membranes for Liquid Separation. <P> Surface Modification of Membranes. <P> Gas Separation with Membranes. <P> CURRENT APPLICATIONS AND PERSPECTIVES. <P> The Separation of Organic Vapors from Gas Streams by Means of Membranes (K.
