Advantages to Membrane Separation This subsertion covers the commercially important membrane applications. AU except electrodialysis are pressure driven. All except pervaporation involve no phase change. All tend to be inherently low-energy consumers in the-oiy if not in practice. They operate by a different mechanism than do other separation methods, so they have a unique profile of strengths and weaknesses. In some cases they provide unusual sharpness of separation, but in most cases they perform a separation at lower cost, provide more valuable products, and do so with fewer undesirable side effects than older separations methods. The membrane interposes a new phase between feed and product. It controls the transfer of mass between feed and product. It is a kinetic, not an equihbrium process. In a separation, a membrane will be selective because it passes some components much more rapidly than others. Many membranes are veiy selective. Membrane separations are often simpler than the alternatives. 

Inert gas pressure does not have any effect on the surface catalysis controlling the rate. If diffusion is slowing down the rate, high inert gas pressure will cut the diffusion coefficient and the rate will be less than at low Pi. If both this and a low energy of activation is are observed, a difflisional effect is very likely. 

Thermodynamically-Controlled Reaction. A reaction the product ratio for which is determined solely by the relative thermochemical stabilities of the different products (product formation must be reversible, or separate low-energy pathways interconnecting the products must exist). 

The detergent industry requires process equipment having high operation flexibility, low energy demand, low operation cost, consistent production yield, and, of course, ecological optimization with respect to effluents and air pollution control. To comply with these requirements, the continuous S03/gas sulfonation and double-step neutralization are the basic principles applied in multitube falling film reactor and Neutrex neutralization (Fig. 5). 

The most appropriate experimental procedure is to treat the metal in UHV, controlling the state of the surface with spectroscopic techniques (low-energy electron diffraction, LEED atomic emission spectroscopy, AES), followed by rapid and protected transfer into the electrochemical cell. This assemblage is definitely appropriate for comparing UHV and electrochemical experiments. However, the effect of the contact with the solution must always be checked, possibly with a backward transfer. These aspects are discussed in further detail for specific metals later on.
