“This book is one that addresses gas separation membranes as a separate entity from other membranes in application, while including information still pertinent to general membrane separation studies. Chemists, material scientists, chemical engineers, mechanical engineers, energy engineers, and process designers engaged in gas separations will all find value in this book. … this book is a valuable resource for new researchers, and a decent reference for mature researchers in the field of gas phase membrane separations.” (Jeremy Lewis, Chemical Engineering Education, Vol. 52 (3), 2018)
