Membranes are an energy efficient separation technology that are
now the basis for many water treatment and food processing
applications. However, there is the potential to improve the
operating performance of these separations and to extend the
application of membranes to energy production, gas separations,
organic solvent-based separations, and biomedical applications
through novel membrane materials. This book contains 20 chapters
written by leading academic researchers on membrane fabrication and
modification techniques and provides a comprehensive overview on
the recent developments of membrane technology. Membranes can be
manufactured from a range of materials including polymeric
compounds, and ceramic materials, and both these materials are
considered in the book. There are 5 chapters on water and
wastewater membranes that cover the fabrication of thin film (TFC)
composite membranes for nanofiltration(NF)/reverse osmosis
(RO)/forward osmosis (FO) applications, stimuli responsive
membranes, electrospun membranes, porous ceramic membranes, and
polymeric ultrafiltration (UF) manufacture and modification. There
are another 6 chapters on gas separation that consider carbon
membranes, zeolite membranes, silica template and metal oxide
silica membranes, TFC membranes, silica membranes, and metal
organic framework (MOF) membranes. Zeolite membranes are also
considered for organic solvent applications, as are
solvent-resistant membranes manufactured by phase inversion,
ceramic-supported composite membranes, and ceramic NF membranes.
The emerging areas of membranes for energy and biomedical
applications have 3 and 2 chapters, respectively. Energy
applications consider ion exchange membranes for use in fuel cells,
membranes for electrodialysis, and membranes for use in microbial
fuel cells. For biomedical applications the chapters focus on
hemodialysis membranes and redox responsive membranes.
Advanced Technologies for Solid, Liquid, and Gas Waste Treatment
presents the potential of using advanced and emerging technologies
to effectively treat waste. This book uniquely addresses treatment
techniques for waste in all three phases, solid, liquid, and gas,
with the goals of mitigating negative impacts of waste and
producing valued-added products, such as biogas and fertilizer, as
well as the use of artificial intelligent in the field. * Covers a
wide range of advanced and emerging treatment technologies such as
photocatalysis processing, adsorptive membranes, pyrolysis,
advanced oxidation process, electrocoagulation, composting
technologies, etc. * Addresses issues associated with wastes in
different phases. * Discusses the pros and cons of treatment
technologies for handling different wastes produced by different
industrial processes, such as agricultural biomass,
industrial/domestic solid wastes, wastewater, and hazardous gas. *
Includes application of artificial intelligence in treatment of
electronic waste. This book will appeal to chemical, civil and
environmental engineers working on waste treatment, waste
valorization, and pollution control.

60 Years of the Loeb-Sourirajan Membrane: Principles, New
Materials, Modelling, Characterization and Applications bring forth
theoretical advances, novel characterization techniques, materials
development, advanced treatment processes, and emerging
applications of membrane-based technologies. The trigger for
writing this book is the 2020, 60th anniversary of the first
asymmetric polymeric membrane invented by Dr. Sidney Loeb and Dr.
Srinivasa Sourirajan (University of California, Los Angeles, USA)
on the breakthrough discovery of the semipermeable membrane for
seawater desalination. The book places emphasis on the advances of
organic and inorganic membranes in different fields, covering not
only the primary application of membranes for water and wastewater
treatment but also other applications dealing with energy
conversion and storage, organic solvent purification, gas
separation, and biomedical processes.
Handbook of Nanotechnology Applications: Environment, Energy,
Agriculture and Medicine presents a comprehensive overview on
recent developments and prospects surrounding nanotechnology use in
water/wastewater separation and purification, energy storage and
conversion, agricultural and food process, and effective diagnoses
and treatments in medical fields. The book includes detailed
overviews of nanotechnology, including nanofiltration membrane for
water/wastewater treatment, nanomedicine and nanosensor development
for medical implementation, advanced nanomaterials of different
structural dimensions (0D, 1D, 2D and 3D) for energy applications,
as well as food and agricultural utilization. Other sections
discuss the challenges of lab-based research transitioning towards
practical industrial use.
Advanced Nanomaterials for Membrane Synthesis and Its Applications
provides the academic and industrial communities the most
up-to-date information on the latest trends in membrane
nanomaterials and membrane nanotechnology used in wastewater
treatment, environmental technology and energy. The rapid advances
in nanomaterials and nanotechnology development over the past
decade have resulted in significant growth of the membrane business
for various industrial processes, particularly in
nanotechnology-based membrane processes. While membrane technology
is increasingly being used for liquid and gas separations, it has
great potential in a variety of additional applications. As the
worldwide academic community has a strong interest in advanced
membrane processes, particularly membrane nanotechnology for
specific separations, this book provides a timely update on the
topic.
