A response to increasingly stringent regulation of pollution and toxicity levels in industrial waste discharge, Micellar Enhanced Ultrafiltration: Fundamentals & Applications offers the most complete book available on the benefits and use of micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration (MEUF) to achieve continuous removal of organic and inorganic pollutants.



An Unparalleled Book That Addresses Both Academic and Industrial Points of View



Several membrane-based techniques, such as microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, and reverse osmosis, are currently used in a wide range of applications throughout the textile, pulp and paper, sugar, chemical, pharmaceutical, biomedical, biotechnological, and food industries. However, although reverse osmosis is an effective means of removing contaminants, this book explains why MEUF is a better substitute, as it less expensive, less energy-intensive, and more efficient and practical for a wider range of applications.



Topics covered include:







Effects of pollution in water and its consequences







Various treatment processes and membrane technologies







Fundamentals of ultrafiltration







Outline of various membrane modules and modeling approaches







Principles of colloid chemistry







Theories of micelle formation







Stability and dynamics of micelles







Phenomena of counterion binding







Solubilization of organic pollutants







Selection criteria for surfactants







Various flux enhancement techniques







Recovery of precious metals







This book conveys how, with proper selection of surfactant and membrane, MEUF can be used to efficiently remove almost all metal ions (heavy metals, lanthanides, radioa
