Inorganic membrane science and technology is a new field of membrane separation technology which until recently was dominated by the earlier field of polymer membranes. Currently the subject is undergoing rapid development and innovation. The present book describes the fundamental principles of both synthesis of inorganic membranes and membrane supports and also the associated phenomena of transport and separation in a semi-quantitative form. Examples are given which illustrate the state-of-the-art in the synthesis of membranes with controlled properties. Future possibilities and limitations are discussed. The reader is provided with references to more extended treatments in the literature. Potential areas for future innovation are indicated. By combining aspects of both the science and technology of inorganic membranes, this book serves as a useful source of information for scientists and engineers working in this field. It also provides some observations of important investigators who have contributed to the development of this subject.

Membranes playa central role in our daily life, or as indicated by one of my foreign colleagues, Richard Bowen, 'If you are tired of membranes, you are tired of life' . Biological membranes are hardly used in industrial applications, but separations with synthetic membranes have become increasingly important. Today, membrane processes are used in a wide range of applications and their numbers will certainly increase. Therefore, there is a need for well educated and qualified engineers, chemists, scientists and technicians who have been taught the basic principles of membrane technology. However, despite the growing importance of membrane processes, there are only a few universities that include membrane technology in their regular curricula. One of the reasons for this may be the lack of a comprehensive textbook. For me, this was one of the driving forces for writing a textbook on the basic principles of membrane technology which provides a broad view on the various aspects of membrane technology. I realise that membrane technology covers a broad field but nevertheless I have tried to describe the basic principles of the various disciplines. Although the book was written with the student in mind it can also serve as a first introduction for engineers, chemists, and technicians in all kind of industries who wish to learn the basics of membrane technology.

This book demonstrates how the physical chemistry of elementary processes in natural and artificial membranes are one and the same - even though the biological systems are extremely complex - and shows that the inter-relationship between the science dealing with transport processes "in vivo" and in synthetic membranes can hold the key to our understanding of the principles governing the functioning of living systems. By taking an in-depth look at the physical chemistry of transport processes in membrane systems, the author pinpoints the posssibilities for membrane separation of liquid and gaseous mixtures and membrane preparation of substances. He emphasizes the importance of the changes to the intense mass and electromass transfer regimes when quasiequilibrium concepts, based on linear thermodynamics of nonequilibrium processes, become inadequate; and shows how, under these conditions, the modification of the membrane surface proves effective and the control over tranport processes becomes viable due to the formation of a submicroheterogeneous structure of the membrane material. As a result, membrane transport acquires features typical of molecular and ionic transport in the most effective biological membrances with respect to the route (along submicrochannels) and general kinetic trends. What are the prosects for future interaction between physiocochemical biology and membrance technology? What can we learn from nature? How can the study and understanding of the kinetics of processes in biological membranes help us solve the problems of synthesis and modification of new membrane materials and develop new effective membrane processes? This book responds to these and other questions as well as introducing new ideas which may change the face of membrane technology in the future. It should be welcomed by all those studying and researching in the physics, chemistry and biochemistry of solution, transport and separation processes.
