Covers the most recent researches in hollow fibers and nanofibers
in the different fields of membrane applications Provides and
discusses the arguments relying on concrete examples from
scientific literature Is illustrated throughout, with remarkable
figures and illustrations accompanying each section
Focuses on the application of membrane technologies in removing
toxic metals\metalloids from water. Particular attention is devoted
to the removal of arsenic, uranium, and fluoride. These compounds
are all existing in the earth's crust at levels between two and
five thousands micrograms per kg (parts per million) on average and
these compounds can be considered highly toxic to humans, who are
exposed to them primarily from air, food and water. In order to
comply with the new maximum contaminant level, numerous studies
have been undertaken to improve established treatments or to
develop novel treatment technologies for removing toxic metals from
contaminated surface and groundwater. Among the technologies
available, applicable for water treatment, membrane technology has
been identified as a promising technology to remove such toxic
metals from water. The book describes both pressure driven
(traditional processes, such as Nanofiltration, Reverse Osmosis,
Ultrafiltration,etc) and more advanced membrane processes (such as
forward osmosis, membrane distillation, and membrane bio-reactors)
employed in the application of interest. Key aspect of this book is
to provide information on both the basics of membrane technologies
and on the results depending on the type of technology employed.
The book focuses on Application of Nanotechnology in Membranes for
Water Treatment but not only provides a series of innovative
solutions for water reclamation through advanced membrane
technology but also serves as a medium to promote international
cooperation and networking for the development of advanced membrane
technology for Universal well-being and to achieve the common goal
of supplying economically, environmentally and societally
sustainable freshwater and better sanitation systems. This book is
unique because the chapters were authored by established
researchers all around the globe based on their recent research
findings. In addition, this book provides a holistic coverage of
membrane development for water treatment, from the membrane
preparation and characterizations to the performance for specific
processes and applications. Since that water scarcity has become a
global risk and one of the most serious challenges for the
scientific community in this century, the publication of this book
is therefore significant as it will serve as a medium for a good
reference of an alternative solution in water reclamation. This
book will provide the readers with a thorough understanding of the
different available approaches for manufacturing membranes both
with innovative polymeric systems and inorganic nano-materials
which could give enhanced functionalities, catalytic and
antimicrobial activities to improve the performance of the existing
membranes. It will be useful for leading decision and policy
makers, water sector representatives and administrators, policy
makers from the governments, business leaders, business houses in
water treatment, and engineers/ scientists from both industrialized
and developing countries as well.

Current Trends and Future Developments on (Bio-) Membranes:
Membrane Technologies in Environmental Protection and Public
Health- Challenges and Opportunities illustrates the application of
membrane technology used in separation processes, along with the
advantages of membranes in comparison with other types of
separation methods. In addition, the book illustrates new
approaches for pollution monitoring and helps researchers develop
new membrane systems for air or water pollution monitoring.
Sections focus on the application of membrane technology to new
membranes, hence it is ideal for R&D managers in industry and a
variety of others, including academic researchers and postgraduate
students working in strategic treatment, separation and
purification processes.
Current Trends and Future Developments in (Bio-) Membranes:
Renewable Energy Integrated with Membrane Operations offers an
overview of advanced technologies in the field of water
desalination, wastewater treatment and hydrogen production that is
coupled with renewable energy sources. Membrane processes are
well-recognized technologies in the field of water and wastewater
treatment. This book reviews their potential and lists new
technologies which allow for the use of solar, hydroelectric, wind,
hydrothermal and other forms of renewable energy with the same
effect. In addition, it highlights what has already been achieved
in the integration of membrane reactors and energy produced by
biomass.
Membrane Technologies for Biorefining highlights the best practices
needed for the efficient and environmentally-compatible separation
techniques that are fundamental to the conversion of biomass to
fuels and chemicals for use as alternatives to petroleum refining.
Membrane technologies are increasingly of interest in biorefineries
due to their modest energy consumption, low chemical requirements,
and excellent separation efficiency. The book provides researchers
in academia and industry with an authoritative overview of the
different types of membranes and highlights the ways in which they
can be applied in biorefineries for the production of chemicals and
biofuels. Topics have been selected to highlight both the variety
of raw materials treated in biorefineries and the range of biofuel
and chemical end-products.
Vapour permeation and membrane distillation are two emerging
membrane technologies for the production of vapour as permeate,
which, in addition to well-established pervaporation technology,
are of increasing interest to academia and industry. As efficient
separation and concentration processes, they have high potential
for use in the energy, water, chemical, food and pharmaceutical
sectors. Part One begins by covering the fundamentals, preparation
and characterization of pervaporation, before going on to outline
the associated systems and applications. State of the art uses,
future trends and next generation pervaporation are then discussed.
Part Two then explores the preparation, characterization, systems
and applications of membranes for vapour permeation, followed by
modelling and the new generation of vapour permeation membranes.
Finally, Part Three outlines the fundamentals of membrane
distillation and its applications in integrated systems, before the
book concludes with a view of the next generation.
Current Trends and Future Developments in (Bio-) Membranes:
Membranes in Environmental Applications offers an overview of
environmental pollution, covering the air, water, waste from
agriculture and climate change, and including emerging offenders
such as microplastics and electronic waste which can be solved by
conventional and advanced membrane techniques. Chapters cover
environmental pollution issues followed by specific membrane
processes, problems related to environmental pollution, and the
different techniques used for solving these problems. For each
pollutant, such as CO2 and fuel, water and wastewater, waste from
agriculture, etc., specific membrane processes are described. Users
will find a comprehensive overview on the environmental problems
that influence climate change and aquatic/water preservation, CO2
emission and air pollution, metals, toxic pollutants in water,
wastewater problems and treatments, and more.
