Explores issues related to the design of polymers for membrane materials, including extensive database and polymer characterizationHighlights the best techniques and the underlying principles for fabrication of high flux membranes from polymers Analyzes new membrane processes and evaluates the future prospects for approaches such as the facilitated transport for enhanced selectivityDiscusses hybrid processes combining membranes with other separation techniques Polymeric Gas Separation Membranes is an outstanding reference devoted to discussing the separation of gases by membranes. An international team of contributors examines the latest findings of membrane science and practical applications and explores the complete spectrum of relevant topics from fundamentals of gas sorption and diffusion in polymers to vapor separation from air. They also compare membrane processes with other separation technologies. This essential book will be valuable to all practitioners and students in membrane science and technology.
