Preliminary Program subject to change
02D05 Membrane Tutorial
OverviewGrowth in the membrane industry continues at a phenomenal rate. This growth is occurring in the "traditional" areas of reverse osmosis, filtration, and gas separation. New areas are emerging as well including inorganic membranes, biomedical applications, and hybrid processes. The invited talks in this session will provide an accessible overview of many of these membrane areas and the current state-of-the-art.
