Description

Green Membrane Technology Towards Environmental Sustainability covers experimental and theoretical aspects of greener membranes and processes. The book fills the gap in current literature and offers a platform that introduces and discusses new routes in fabricating green membranes and processes for developing green membranes. Although membranes and membrane processes have decades of history, rapid development in membranes manufacturing and emerging membrane driven markets is requiring new and more sustainable engagement of manufacturers, membrane operators and scientists.

This book is written for chemical and polymer engineers, materials scientists, professors, graduate students, as well as general readers at universities, research institutions and R&D departments in industries who are engaged in sustainable engineering and practical strategies in circular economy.

Key features

  • Provides a broad reference base on a wide range of information on greener technologies and new generation membranes
  • Details experimental and theoretical aspects of the greener membranes and processes
  • Dedicated exclusively to greener routes for fabricating sustainable membranes in separation and delivery applications
