Solid-Liquid Separation Technology (Worldwide 3/2001-331) The second edition of the book retains the strong points of the first edition while adding the most recent publications. Highlights of this edition include a major revision and updating of the chapters dealing with the fundamental processes of filtration and sedimentation. Full details are provided on how to simulate the formation of filter compacts and sediments, including compressible compacts and sludges in consolidation tanks. New pictures, illustrations, descriptions and applications of the process equip- ment are included. Extensive revision of the section on crossflow membrane microfiltration includes discussions of emerging applications. A new section concerns the design of microfilter membranes to minimize fouling, and information on the use of critical flux strat-egy to avoid permeate flux decay. Many new diagrams, tables and photographs are to be found throughout the book. |
