Inorganic Membranes in Food and Biotechnology Applications

  • Chapter
Inorganic Membranes Synthesis, Characteristics and Applications

Abstract

In the field of food and dairy industry applications, inorganic membranes are now used in a wide range of processes, especially in microfiltration and ultrafiltration. This growth in application is believed to be the result of the availability of high-quality membrane products and due to the constant evolution of membrane technology.
