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.
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 presents new approaches in membrane technology and analyzes hybrid liquid/solid membranes and their potential in separation technology. The book also describes and discusses 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.
