This book provides a state-of-the art overview of the classical membrane processes used in pharmaceutical and biochemical engineering, and biotechnology, such as ultrafiltration, microfiltration, virus filtration, membrane chromatography, membrane emulsification, liquid membranes and membrane bioreactors. It describes the general rules (principles, choice of configurations, membranes, parameters, etc.), recent developments (fouling control, increase permeate flux and selectivity, etc.), applications, and theoretical descriptions. Further it presents emerging processes such as solvent resistant nanofiltration and membrane crystallization UR - http://www.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/cul/resolve?clio9483113 UR - http://krc.clri.res.in:80/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=13945 ER -
