ABSTRACT
This chapter continues the discussion on filtration started in Chapter 7, except that it deals with advanced filtration. We have defined
filtration
as a unit operation of separating solids or particles from fluids. A unit operation of filtration carried out using membranes as filter media is advanced filtration. This chapter discusses advanced filtration using electrodialysis membranes and pressure membranes. Filtration using pressure membranes include reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, microfiltration, and ultrafiltration.
