Membrane-assisted Crystallization Technology

Download or read book Membrane-assisted Crystallization Technology written by Enrico Drioli and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2015-09-16 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers all the basic and applied aspects of crystallization processes based on membrane technology. Synthesis and processing of membrane materials are discussed and reviewed, while mass/heat transport and control are treated in view of the non-reversible thermodynamic principles and statistical thermodynamics. Engineering process design and crystalline materials products properties, and also the relation to other traditional crystallization formats, are analyzed. Advantages, limitations, and future developments are also included in the content, with special emphasis on new fields of applications like microfluidic configurations, controlled proteins (also membrane proteins) crystallization, organic semiconductors single crystals production, and optical materials.
