Lecturer

Mark Wilf, Ph.D.

Dr. Mark Wilf, Director of Membrane Technology for engineering firm — Tetra Tech, California, has planned and will deliver the course. Recognized as a global expert for commercial membrane applications, Dr. Wilf provides technical expertise to the engineering and scientific community worldwide and participates in professional forums defining future directions for membrane technology and application development. This includes reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, ultrafiltration and microfiltration technologies applied for water desalination, potable water treatment, and industrial and municipal wastewater reclamation. Dr. Wilf is active in reviewing research projects and publications being a member of the Editorial Board of the Desalination Journal, Advisory Expert to the Middle East Desalination Research Center and peer reviewer to a number of journals on water treatment. Dr. Wilf is regular contributor to professional journals, holds number of patents, wrote chapters on membrane technology to a number of books and recently completed the second guidebook on application of membrane technology to wastewater reclamation (www.desline.com).

The objective of this seminar is to provide a comprehensive description of the fundamentals of ion-exchange membranes processes and their applications. The subject is covered in six chapters. First, a very general overview of relevant ion-exchange membrane processes is given. Then some electrochemical and thermodynamic fundamentals are discussed. The preparation and characterization of ion-exchange membranes is described next. This is followed by a discussion of the various processes as unit operations and the design of systems and equipment. Finally, present and possible future applications of ion-exchange membrane processes are treated and research needs are pointed out.
