Opis

The book serves as an advanced text on the theory and use of a selection of membrane processes of value in bioprocessing. The applications referred to range from preparing pure water through harvesting of cells and concentration of products to recovery of products such as dry ethanol (by prevaporation).

Recenzje

...well refenced and full of practical information which, together with the various exercises, makes it a useful source of information for those working on membrane applications in bioprocessing. - Chemistry & Industry.; ...Membranes in Bioprocessing: Theory and Applications is very timely for the end-user since the contents cover both the theory and practical aspects of membranes, which are of significant value in bioprocessing...The book is an asset to practitioners, students and lecturers in biochemistry, industrial chemistry, chemical engineering and biotechnology. It can also provide a good source of information for the industrial community about the usage of membranes in the relevant industry. - The Genetic Engineer and Biotechnologist
