Ion Exchange Membranes

Fundamental study and industrial application of ion exchange membranes started over half a century ago. Through the ongoing research and development, the ion exchange membrane technology is now applied to many fields and contributes to the improvement of our standard of living. Ion Exchange Membranes states the ion exchange membrane technology from the standpoint of fundamentals and applications. Discussing not only various phenomena exhibited by the membranes but also their applications in many fields with economical evaluations.* This volume looks at the latest developments in ion exchange membrane technology* Provides a full and wide explanation of ion exchange membranes* Easy-to-understand layout, including many figures and tables
