This textbook gives a clear and coherent overview of ceramic
membranes, from preparation methods all the way to applications and
economics. The authors, who are known for their clear writing
style, combine their expertise in environmental engineering and
porous materials to cover a wide range of examples, with over 1000
references. Chapters 1, 2 and 3 give a detailed introduction to
membrane synthesis, transport mechanisms, and characterisation.
Building on this, Chapter 4 outlines the state-of-the-art in
ceramic membrane applications, including fuel cells, water
purification, gas separation, and the making of cheeses, fruit
juice, wine and beer. The final chapter deals with the economics of
ceramic membrane processes, using industrial case studies to
examine market barriers and opportunities. Ceramics are known
throughout history, but now, after thousands of years, they're
making a comeback. Indeed, they may hold the key for addressing
three of today's biggest challenges: clean energy, drinking water
and air pollution. This book is a must-have for anyone who wants to
enter the ceramic membranes field, or keep up-to-date with the
latest developments and applications. This textbook gives a clear
