      abstract = {This study concentrates on a general optimization of a  particular class of membrane separation processes: those  involving batch diafiltration. Existing practices are  explained and operational improvements based on optimal  control theory are suggested. The first part of the book  introduces the theory of membrane processes, optimal  control and dynamic optimization. Separation problems are  defined and mathematical models of batch membrane processes  derived. The control theory focuses on problems of dynamic  optimization from a chemical-engineering point of view.  Analytical and numerical methods that can be exploited to  treat problems of optimal control for membrane processes  are described. The second part of the text builds on this  theoretical basis to establish solutions for membrane  models of increasing complexity. Each chapter starts with a  derivation of optimal operation and continues with case  studies exemplifying various aspects of the control  problems under consideration. The authors work their way  from the limiting flux model through increasingly  generalized models to propose a simple numerical approach  to the general case of optimal operation for batch  diafiltration processes. Researchers interested in the  modelling of batch processes or in the potential industrial  applications of optimal control theory will find this  monograph a valuable source of inspiration, instruction and  ideas.},
