The editors would like to covey their sincere thanks to the co-authors and
other contributors to this book, details ofwhom are given below.

The co-authors

Danielle Baetens
Dr Baetens graduated in 1991 as a civil engineer in chemistry at the University
of Ghent, obtaining a PhD at the faculty of Agricultural Engineering, also in
Ghent, in 2000. The PhD concerned modelling of biological phosphorus removal
in wastewater. Between 1991 and 1998 Dr Baetens worked at the University of
Ghent as assistant at the faculty of civil engineering on the treatment of air
pollution and wastewater treatment. Since 1999 she has worked at Vito
(Flemish Institute for Technological Research), where she project is co-ordinator
of the project group on process optimisation.

€tieme Brauns
Etienne Brauns graduated as a Metallurgical Civil Engineer at KU Leuven in
Belgium in 1976. He thereafter stayed at KU Leuven to contribute as a
researcher to a program on shape memory alloys, joining the Belgian national
nuclear research centre SCK-CEN in 1985. In 1990 all non-nuclear research at
SCK-CEN was transferred to Vito, founded in that year by the Flemish
government. As a researcher at Vito he originally continued R&D activities on
technical and electro ceramics for sensor applications. He has subsequently
focused on membrane research and currently works on pressure-driven and
electrodialytic membrane processes, and water recycling.
