Current Trends and Future Developments on (Bio-) Membranes: Modern Approaches in Membrane Technology for Gas Separation and Water Treatment

Modern Approaches in Membrane Technology for Gas Separation and Water Treatment presents condensed information on novel and promising membrane materials. The book answers some major questions from the membrane community about three promising materials that are to be introduced at industrial scale. It introduces recent, out of the box, ideas concerning the application of new methods capable to enhance the membrane separation efficiency. Sections cover potential commercialization, important question on three famous membrane materials, and new approaches in membrane technology. Finally, the book describes and discusses three novel ideas about the potential effect of the magnetic field on membrane separation efficiency, the use of cryogenic technology on membrane separations, and the use of nanobubble technology on water membrane processes. Focuses on the necessity for environmentally-friendly and cost-effective purification and separation processes Lists all new membrane materials suitable for commercialization Presents new, modern approaches and ideas for improving the membrane efficiency INDICE: Part 1.
