Editorial Reviews

"The value of this work lies in the extensive compilation of information on ultrafiltration membranes and their applications. The engineering aspects of ultrafiltration are also dealt with thoroughly."
—Hans Wijmans in Membrane Technology & Research

"A comprehensive textbook on ultrafiltration has been needed for some time. Such a book is now available . . . it is well-written and useful. . . "
—C. H. Amundson, Professor, University of Wisconsin, Madison, in Food Technology

"This book is a comprehensive reference. . . . Recommended for engineering collections."
—R. Darby, Texas A&M University, in Choice (American Library Association)

". . . Ultrafiltration Handbook covers all aspects of ultrafiltration. The book is too well-written and easy to read to be a reference, but its too fact-filled and thorough to be anything but a reference book . . . .If ones work in any way involves separations technology, this handbook is invaluable."
—Jane B. James, Ph.D., Pall Corporation, Microbiology Laboratory, in SIAM News (Society for Industrial Microbiology)

"Overall, the book is well organized with a clear and attractive lay-out. . . . An excellent book which will undoubtedly become a standard work of reference both in companies manufacturing and utilizing UF systems. It contains a wealth of useful practical experience which is not to be found in much of the literature, thereby fulfilling a major criterion of any work represented as a handbook. . . . It is a very good value indeed."
—Pro Bio Tech, December 1987

"It contains a wealth of information about the UF process, and it would be an excellent addition to any library. In addition, it would make an excellent textbook for teaching the fundamentals of UF."
—Scott B. McCray, in Journal of Membrane Science

"I have profited much by the vast amount of useful information given in the book. Since your approach to the subject is popular, and your style of writing is appealing, the book is bound to be a . . . success."
—S. Sourirajan (co-inventor of the Sourirajan-Lobel synthetic membrane)
