چکیده
Membranes have emerged as an attractive approach to separating materials in many industries, from medical to chemical to water. When formed into hollow fiber tubes, membranes deliver highly efficient operation in a small footprint. The advantages are numerous: low energy requirements, simplicity of operation, and high specificity. This paper explains the principles behind membrane transport and identifies applications where hollow fiber membranes, and dense membranes in particular, are valuable.
