Current Trends and Future Developments on (Bio-) Membranes: Membranes in Environmental Applications

Current Trends and Future Developments on (Bio-) Membranes: Membranes in Environmental Applications offers an overview of environmental pollution, covering the air, water, waste from agriculture and climate change, and including emerging offenders such as microplastics and electronic waste which can be solved by conventional and advanced membrane techniques. Chapters cover environmental pollution issues followed by specific membrane processes, problems related to environmental pollution, and the different techniques used for solving these problems. For each pollutant, such as CO2 and fuel, water and wastewater, waste from agriculture, etc., specific membrane processes are described. Users will find a comprehensive overview on the environmental problems that influence climate change and aquatic/water preservation, CO2 emission and air pollution, metals, toxic pollutants in water, wastewater problems and treatments, and more. Presents an overview on the interconnections between membrane technology and environmental issuesProvides a comprehensive review of the environmental pollution issues tackled by membrane processesAddresses key issues in energy production from renewable sources INDICE: 1.
