About this title

Synopsis

Current Trends and Future Developments on (Bio-) Membranes: Carbon Dioxide Separation/Capture by Using Membranes explores the unique property of membranes to separate gases with different physical and chemical properties. The book covers both polymeric and inorganic materials for CO2 separation and explains their mechanism of action, allowing for the development and most appropriate and efficient processes. It also lists the advantages of using membranes instead of other separation techniques, i.e., their low operating costs and low energy consumption. This book offers a unique opportunity for scientists working in the field of membrane technology for CO2 separation and capture.

• Outlines numerous membrane-based technologies for CO2 separation and capture
• Lists new, advanced separation techniques and production processes
• Includes various applications, modelling, and the economic considerations of each process
• Covers advanced techniques for the separation of CO2 in natural gas

About the Authors

Angelo Basile is a Full Professor and a leading authority in membrane science and technology. Since 2014, he has served as Full Professor in Systems, Methods and Technologies of Chemical Engineering Processes at CNR-ITM in Rende, Italy. His work covers hydrogen purification and production using membrane reactors, CO₂ capture, process intensification, and the treatment of industrial effluents with advanced membrane operations. Basile has edited many scientific books and authored numerous book chapters, bridging complex research with clear knowledge for engineers and scientists. Motivated by the role of AI/ML in accelerating membrane process design and automation, he supports integrating data-driven methods for smart plants and reaction–separation optimisation.

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.
