We start this section by looking at membranes, an important bioseparation technique.

Week 4

28 September 2012 (04C)

  • Guest lecture: Henk Koops, GE Water and Process Technologies, An introduction to membrane technology
  • Slides for class (accessible only to McMaster students from campus)
  • Audio and video recording of the class

Week 5
