Nanotechnology has been established in membrane technology for
decades. In this book, comprehensive coverage is given to
nanotechnology applications in synthetic membrane processes, which
are used in different fields such as water treatment, separation of
gases, the food industry, military use, drug delivery, air
filtration, and green chemistry. Nanomaterials such as carbon
nanotubes, nanoparticles, and dendrimers are contributing to the
development of more efficient and cost-effective water filtration
processes. Gas separation and carbon capture can be significantly
improved in flue gas applications. Nanoporous membrane systems
engineered to mimic natural filtration systems are being actively
developed for use in smart implantable drug delivery systems, bio
artificial organs, and other novel nano-enabled medical devices.
The microscopic structure of nanoporous ceramic membranes, mainly
focusing on zeolite materials, as well as the energy-saving effect
of membrane separation, contribute to various chemical synthesis
processes. In the food industry, nanotechnology has the potential
to create new tools for pathogen detection and packaging. For each
application, nanotechnology is mostly used to make composite
membranes, and the book provides a detailed look at the mechanisms
by which the composite membrane works in each application area.

This book describes the tremendous progress that has been made in
the development of gas separation membranes based both on inorganic
and polymeric materials. Materials discussed include polymer
inclusion membranes (PIMs), metal organic frameworks (MOFs), carbon
based materials, zeolites, as well as other materials, and mixed
matrix membranes (MMMs) in which the above novel materials are
incorporated. This broad survey of gas membranes covers material,
theory, modeling, preparation, characterization (for example, by
AFM, IR, XRD, ESR, Positron annihilation spectroscopy), tailoring
of membranes, membrane module and system design, and applications.
The book is concluded with some perspectives about the future
direction of the field.

Reverse Osmosis starts with an overview of the historic development
of the RO membrane, the RO process, and its effect on other
membrane separation processes. Other chapters cover the development
of nanocomposites of TFC membranes and modern membrane
characterization techniques, such as TEM, AFM and PALS, the RO
membrane transport model, and RO membrane fouling. The book also
describes, in detail, experimental methods for setting up RO
experiments, RO membrane modules, RO membrane systems, and
desalination and water treatment by RO. Applications in food,
pharmaceutical, chemical, biochemical, petroleum and petrochemical
industries are also summarized. Other sections cover the
development of RO membranes with high thermal and chemical
stability, attempts to develop polymeric or inorganic membranes,
and hybrid processes where RO is combined with forward osmosis (FO)
or membrane distillation (MD).
