About This Book
Ion Exchange Membranes
A comprehensive introduction to the electro-membrane technologies of the future
An ion exchange membrane is a polymer-based membrane which can be permeable by some ions in a solution while blocking others, making them ideal for processes such as water desalination, salt concentration control, clean production andâgiven their electrical conductivityâpower generation and energy storage etc. Recent advances have given rise to new electro-membrane processes that promise drastically to expand the applications of this technology. Scientists in both research and industry will increasingly need to draw on these membranes in vital ways with strongly positive potential environmental impact.
Ion Exchange Membranes summarizes recent research into these membranes and electro-membrane processes before moving to an overview of the historical background. It then attends in detail to cutting-edge fabrication technologies and the most recent areas of use. The result is a comprehensive introduction to the design, fabrication, and applications of these increasingly essential membranes.
Ion Exchange Membranes readers will also find:
- In-depth treatment of industrial-scale applications
- Detailed discussion of topics including side-chain engineering, polyacylation, superacid-catalyst polymerization, and more
- Analysis of electro-membrane processes such as alkaline membrane water electrolysis, solar-driven water splitting, and many more
Ion Exchange Membranes is ideal for membrane scientists, materials scientists, inorganic chemists, polymer chemists, and researchers and engineers in a variety of fields working with ion exchange membranes and electro-membrane processes.
