Current Trends and Future Developments on (Bio-) Membranes: Ceramic Membrane Bioreactors

The accelerated growth of the MBR technology during the last years has been traditionally linked to the development of polymeric membranes for urban wastewater treatment and ceramic membranes have left behind. Ceramic membranes present noteworthy benefits that make them particularly appropriate for various applications of MBR systems, such as the treatment of industrial effluents or decentralized domestic wastewater depuration. Ceramic Membrane Bioreactors establishes the bases for the application of ceramic MBR technology, which offers certain unique advantages and is characterized by its maximum robustness and reliability when compared with other membrane-based systems. This book includes a comprehensive analysis of the scenario for potential use of ceramic MBRs. This book offers solutions for many potential problems. This book is mainly focused on introducing, applications, advantages/disadvantages, modelling of ceramic membrane bioreactors and comparing it with other membrane systems . However, fouling mechanisms of ceramic membranes are also analysed. This book illustrates many aspects of the different membrane systems used in MBRs and advantages of ceramic membranes in comparison with others. Presents a comprehensive coverage of ceramic membranes and ceramic membranes-based bioreactorsDescribes the various types of ceramic membranes, ie silica, titanium, etcExplains the mechanisms of action and the reasons behind the superiority of these membranes over other typesLists various applications of ceramic membrane bioreactors INDICE: 1.
