Non‐porous Membranes and their Applications . In recent years membrane systems have gained increasing industrial importance in the separation of multicomponent mixtures. This also applies to porous membranes in which the mass transfer is effected by the difference in electrochemical potential of the permeating components on the feed and permeate sides. After presenting the construction and the mode of operation of non‐porous membranes, the article considers industrial membrane processes. Special attention is focussed on development work starting from the research results obtained in the laboratory and culminating in the industrial application. The development of membranes with support‐bound „passive” or „active” transport, such as encountered in some biological membranes, offers interesting insights.
