Wastewaters generated from food production and agricultural
activities are a source of environmental pollution due to their
huge amount of nutrients, organic carbon, nitrogenous organics,
inorganics, suspended and dissolved solids, and high biochemical
and chemical oxygen demands. Advanced Technologies in Wastewater
Treatment: Food Processing Industry provides an update on emerging
technologies including oxidative and anaerobic processes
(flotation, coagulation, sedimentation, filtration, adsorption,
primary settling, secondary activated sludge, anaerobic digestion),
ion exchange, membrane-based operations, adsorption/bio-sorption
and advanced biological treatment to provide safe and clean water
as well as to recover primary resources from food processing
wastewaters. In addition, the integration of these technologies
will be also considered in the logic of the process intensification
strategy. Innovative and affordable solutions are proposed in the
field of fruit and vegetable processing industry, fishing industry,
meat and poultry industry, dairy production, oil and fat
processing.
Advanced Technologies in Wastewater Treatment: Oily Wastewaters
focuses on characteristics and innovative treatment technologies of
oily wastewater from various resources. Primary and physical
treatment methods such as absorption, adsorption, followed by
common techniques like coagulation and fluctuation are discussed in
detail. Applications of other advanced methods for the treatment of
oily wastewaters like utilization of membranes and stripping gases
are covered as well. Finally, novel technologies applied in
purification of oily wastewaters such as photocatalytic degradation
and biological processes are reviewed and future outlooks and
prospects are also illustrated.
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.
Advances in Membrane Technologies for Water Treatment: Materials,
Processes and Applications provides a detailed overview of advanced
water treatment methods involving membranes, which are increasingly
seen as effective replacements for a range of conventional water
treatment methods. The text begins with reviews of novel membrane
materials and advances in membrane operations, then examines the
processes involved with improving membrane performance. Final
chapters cover the application of membrane technologies for use in
water treatment, with detailed discussions on municipal wastewater
and reuse in the textile and paper industries.
Membrane Engineering in the Circular Economy: Renewable Sources
Valorization in Energy and Downstream Processing in Agro-food
Industry describes the modification of the general concept of
"waste," including waste valorization as added-value products that
are useful for energy production and biotechnology industries.
Speaking to the relevance of this new vision, the book highlights
the fundamentals of membrane operations in the exploitation of
renewable sources for energy production and the valorization of
agro-food waste at the industrial level. This book is an excellent
resource for researchers, biologists, membranologists and engineers
in chemistry, biochemical engineering, food sciences and the
agro-food refinery industry.
Current Trends and Future Developments on (Bio-) Membranes: Reverse
and Forward Osmosis: Principles, Applications, Advances covers the
important aspects of RO, FO and their combination in integrated
systems, along with their specific and well-established
applications. The book offers an overview of recent developments in
the field of forward and reverse osmosis and their applications in
water desalination, wastewater treatment, power generation and food
processing. General principles, membrane module developments,
membrane fouling, modeling, simulation and optimization of both
technologies are also covered. The book's ultimate goal is to
support the scientific community, professionals and enterprises
that aspire to develop new applications.
This book examines membrane technologies for sustainable
development, through a careful analysis of the technical aspects
and possible fields of industrial development. Membrane processes
are today largely considered consolidated processes able to assure
energy savings, environmental protection as well as sustainable
industrial growth. Various applications of membranes are described
in this book. Its purpose, in fact, is to cover a lack of academic
books concerning the aspects of sustainable growth related to
membrane processes. In particular, the book covers the following
arguments: separation of gaseous mixtures, chemical reactions in
inorganic membrane reactors and bioreactors, polymeric membrane
reactors, membrane contactors, pervaporation and vapour permeation,
ultrafiltration, microfiltration, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis
and food packaging. This book is addressed to postgraduate students
and researchers in the field of chemical and biochemical
engineering and is aimed at providing the reader with tools for the
analysis of existing membrane technologies for the sustainable
development and, possibly, the design of new ones. Furthermore, the
book may be recommended as a supplementary textbook for
higher-level under-graduate courses and be of interest for both
chemical and chemical engineer researchers who want to get a deeper
insight into the newest membrane technologies for sustainable
development. It must be considered an advanced textbook designed
primarily to meet the demands of a course taught at both
undergraduate students as well as postgraduate students (both M.Sc.
and Ph.D. levels) in Chemical Engineering and Chemical Processes.
