ABSTRACT
Potential areas for the application of MF and UF have grown since they were first used. Table 2 shows application areas of MF. MF is used in several industries, including the fermentation, medical, electronic, and food and bever age industries. It has been making inroads into use in home water purifiers and for the purification of condensed water at nuclear plants. Table 3 shows appli cation areas for UF. There are four major areas of application of UF: fermenta tion, food and beverage, semiconductor, and automobile (for recovery of electrodeposition paints). Some fundamentals and recent topics with regard to the use of MF and UF are discussed in this chapter.
