Overview
The second edition of this successful book maintains the strengths of the first edition and includes the most recent publications. One of the highlights is the major revision and updating of the chapters dealing with the fundamental processes of filtration and sedimentation. Full details are provided on how to simulate the formation of filter compacts and sediments. The extensive revision of the section of crossflow membrane microfiltration includes discussions of emerging applications. A new section concerns the design of microfilter membranes to minimimise fouling and information on the use of critical flux strategy to avoid permanent flux decay.Like the first edition, this edition is expected to become a classic.

Booknews
Three British chemical engineers provide theoretical and practical information that can be used to improve the selection of equipment for a particular separation of particulate solids from liquids by filtration and associated techniques, which are growing to meet new demands in environmental control as well as in more traditional areas. They have used the material in short courses, from which they draw some of the problems used to illustrate the discussion here. The 1996 first edition has been revised with updated references, and with expanded discussions of fundamental processes of filtration and sedimentation, simulating the formation of filter compacts and sediments, crossflow membrane microfiltration and emerging applications such as removing cryptosporidium oocysts from drinking water, and other topics.
