Progresses in Ammonia: Science, Technology and Membranes: Production, Recovery, Purification and Storage

Progresses in Ammonia: Science, Technology and Membranes: Production, Recovery, Purification and Storage is a collection of various chapters concerning the aspects of Ammonia synthesis (Haber-Bosch process, Electrochemical synthesis, Thermal coupling, etc.), production (Photocatalytic from amino acid-based biomass, Small-scale renewable-powered, etc.), Recovery (from wastewater and radioactive wastewater, etc.), storage and transportation (handling, shipping), and also others such as Ammonia detection and measurement, Ammonia: emission, atmospheric transport and deposition, Ammonia absorption into alkaline earth metal halide mixtures, and Ammonia and conventional engine fuels.

• Describes various roots/feedstocks of producing ammonia, including conventional and renewable sources
• Discusses conventional and novel technologies for ammonia synthesis and the role of catalysts
• Covers different storage, transportation and detection techniques of ammonia and their environmental challenges

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.
