exhibited by the nanomaterials, the resultant nanocomposite
membranes demonstrate higher selectivity and permeability that
surpass the Robeson upper boundary limit. Nanocomposite Membranes

made in the development and application of gas separation
nanocomposite membranes. In particular, the book covers the focuses
on the fabrication, modification, characterization and applications
of nanocomposite membranes for gas separation. It is an important
reference source both for materials scientists, environmental
engineers and chemical engineers who are looking to understand how
nanocomposite membranes are being used to create better techniques
for gas separation.
Membrane Separation Principles and Applications: From Material
Selection to Mechanisms and Industrial Uses, the latest volume in
the Handbooks in Separation Science series, is the first single
resource to explore all aspects of this rapidly growing area of
study. Membrane technology is now accepted as one of the most
effective tools for separation and purification, primarily due to
its simple operation. The result has been a proliferation of
studies on this topic; however, the relationships between
fundamental knowledge and applications are rarely discussed. This
book acts as a guideline for those who are interested in exploring
membranes at a more progressive level. Covering methods of pressure
driving force, partial pressure driving force, concentration
driving force, electrical potential driving force, hybrid
processes, and more, this volume is more complete than any other
known resource on membrane separations.
