Current Trends and Future Developments on (Bio-) Membranes: Membrane Technologies in Environmental Protection and Public Health- Challenges and Opport

Nowadays membrane research is focused on the development of membrane technologies and applications. Membrane Technologies in Environmental Protection and Public Health: Challenges and Opportunities acts as a resource for a wide range of people in various separation fields, including students and researchers, consultants and engineers, operators and managers, who have an interest in membrane technology. This book illustrates many aspects of the application of membrane technology used in separation processes and advantages of membranes in comparison with other types of separation methods. This book also illustrates new approaches for pollution monitoring and helps the researches to develop new membrane systems for air or water pollution monitoring. It focuses in introducing the application of membrane technology as a result to recent research on new membranes. Hence, this book is a key reference text for R&D managers in industry interested in the development of membrane technologies as well as academic researchers and postgraduate students working in the wider area of the strategic treatment, separation and purification processes and particularly interested in air pollution in urban and industrial environments.
