Synopsis

Modern Approaches in Membrane Technology for Gas Separation and Water Treatment presents condensed information on novel and promising membrane materials. The book answers some major questions from the membrane community about three promising materials that are to be introduced at industrial scale. It introduces recent, out of the box, ideas concerning the application of new methods capable to enhance the membrane separation efficiency. Sections cover potential commercialization, important question on three famous membrane materials, and new approaches in membrane technology.

Finally, the book describes and discusses three novel ideas about the potential effect of the magnetic field on membrane separation efficiency, the use of cryogenic technology on membrane separations, and the use of nanobubble technology on water membrane processes.

• Focuses on the necessity for environmental-friendly and cost-effective purification and separation process
• Lists all new membrane materials suitable for commercialization
• Presents new modern approaches and ideas for improving the membrane efficiency

About the Authors

Angelo Basile, a Chemical Engineer with a Ph.D. in Technical Physics, was a senior Researcher at the ITM-CNR as a responsible for the research related to both ultra-pure hydrogen production and CO2 capture using Pd-based Membrane Reactors. He is a reviewer for 165 int. journals, an editor/author of more than 50 scientific books and 140 chapters on international books on membrane science and technology; with various patens (7 Italian, 2 European, and 1 worldwide). He is a referee of 1more than 150 international scientific journals and a Member of the Editorial Board of more than 20 of them. Basile is also an associate editor of the: Int. J. Hydrogen Energy; Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Eng.; journal Frontiers in Membrane Science and Technology; and co-Editor-in-chief of the Int. J. Membrane Science & Technol.

Evangelos P. Favvas is a Senior Researcher at the Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology in NCSR “Demokritos”, Athens - Greece. He has 80 scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals and 100 articles in international congresses; editor of 2 scientific books, 2 Greek and 4 worldwide patents. His research interests embrace the experimental study of gas separation, with emphasis on carbon dioxide and hydrogen separations, using membranes, sorbents and hybrid porous materials. The in-situ study of condensation process using the combination of X-ray and neutron scattering and adsorption techniques is another filed of his interests.

From the Back Cover

Current Trends and Future Developments on (Bio-) Membranes: Modern Approaches in Membrane Technology for Gas Separation and Water Treatment presents condensed information on novel membrane materials. The first part of the book presents existing membrane materials that have the potential to be commercialized. The second part of the book answers the important question concerning the real impact of three famous membrane materials. The last part of the book discusses new approaches in membrane technology and analyzes hybrid liquid/solid membranes and their potential in separation technology.

In addition, the book answers major questions from the membrane community to three promising materials which could be introduced at industrial scale. It also explores three novel ideas about the potential effect of the magnetic field on the membrane separation efficiency, the use of cryogenic technology on membrane separations and the use of nanobubble technology on water membrane processes. Therefore, this book is a valuable reference for industry professionals, researchers, and graduate students related to science, technology, and engineering.
