Current Trends and Future Developments on (Bio-) Membranes:
Engineering with Membranes discusses various aspects of membrane
engineering. This includes, but is not limited to, the role of
membranes in food production, treatment and recovery, their
applications in electrochemical processes and devices, in drug
delivery and in ionic materials, such as salts, acids and bases,
recovery. In addition, this book approaches the above topics in a
different angle than the existing publications, i.e., reviews
technical difficulties, environmental challenges and economic
analysis. Membranes are one of the technologies which can affect
various aspects of engineering dealing with feeds and products.
Membranes demonstrate selective purifying properties, hence,
membranes can help in the removal of various pollutants onsite and
without the need of adding extra units and apparatuses. Besides
that, membranes help reactions shift forward and make the whole
process more efficient.
Artificial organs may be considered as small-scale process plants,
in which heat, mass and momentum transfer operations and, possibly,
chemical transformations are carried out. This book proposes a
novel analysis of artificial organs based on the typical bottom-up
approach used in process engineering. Starting from a description
of the fundamental physico-chemical phenomena involved in the
process, the whole system is rebuilt as an interconnected ensemble
of elemental unit operations. Each artificial organ is presented
with a short introduction provided by expert clinicians. Devices
commonly used in clinical practice are reviewed and their
performance is assessed and compared by using a mathematical model
based approach. Whilst mathematical modelling is a fundamental tool
for quantitative descriptions of clinical devices, models are kept
simple to remain focused on the essential features of each process.
Postgraduate students and researchers in the field of chemical and
biomedical engineering will find that this book provides a novel
and useful tool for the analysis of existing devices and, possibly,
the design of new ones. This approach will also be useful for
medical researchers who want to get a deeper insight into the basic
working principles of artificial organs.

Current Trends and Future Developments on (Bio-) Membranes:
Membrane Applications in Artificial Organs and Tissue Engineering
reports on membrane applications in the field of biomedical
engineering, ranging from artificial organs, to tissue engineering.
The book offers a comprehensive review of all the current
scientific developments and various applications of membranes in
this area. It is a key reference text for R&D managers in
industry who are interested in the development of artificial and
bioartificial organs, as well as academic researchers and
postgraduate students working in the wider area of artificial
organs and tissue engineering.
Membrane Reactors for Energy Applications and Basic Chemical
Production presents a discussion of the increasing interest in
membrane reactors that has emerged in recent years from both the
scientific and industrial communities, in particular their usage
for energy applications and basic chemical production. Part One of
the text investigates membrane reactors for syngas and hydrogen
production, while Part Two examines membrane reactors for other
energy applications, including biodiesel and bioethanol production.
The final section of the book reviews the use of membrane reactors
in basic chemical production, including discussions of the use of
MRs in ammonia production and the dehydrogenation of alkanes to
alkenes.
This book describes the synthesis, properties and applications of
PLA through fourteen original chapters that will guide the reader
through a fascinating journey into the world of PLA, providing
interesting insights for those who intend to use this polymer for
innovative applications, or simply those who want learn more about
this very important biodegradable and bio-based plastic. PLA
biodegradability introduces this polymer in a world of eco-friendly
and human-friendly applications in several technological fields. In
short, this book will appeal to all the readers who not only want
to have a reference book of consolidated notions on PLA, but also,
and especially, to those who want to discover new potentials and
new application fields of this unique biodegradable polymer.
