2015 AIChE Annual Meeting Proceedings

Session: Modeling Transport in Membrane Processes

Papers are sought in all areas of membrane transport from molecular transport in membrane materials to mass transfer in membrane modules. Work related to applications in fuel processing, energy production, and bioseparations is of particular interest.
