Porous Membranes: Breakthroughs in Manufacturing and Applications leads readers through the world of porous membranes. This book uses accessible language through narrative descriptions of new strategies dedicated to the structure of porous membranes. Explore specific case studies dedicated to potential new-membrane types, including water desalination, ion filtration, and removal of pollutants. This book enables readers to discover how porous membranes with tailored architectures and specific properties can be derived from traditional materials and are flexibly applied in fields such as sustainable natural resource management, environmental remediation, and waste treatment.
This book covers a choice of topics and is split into three sections, each dealing with aspects related to the role of pores in membranes and related fabrication, characterizations, and applications. Section one introduces basic pore concepts and advanced methods to estimate membrane posterity. Section two focuses on achieving greener and more sustainable approaches for fabricating membranes with highly defined and dynamic pores. In addition, this section delves into the technological fundamentals of advanced membrane science, such as membrane contractors, while examining top-down and bottom-up fabrication approaches. Section three is dedicated to porous membranes for bio-purification, environmental remediation, and the purification of various chemical streams. Discussions cover ion filtration, water desalination processes, and testing with various gas pairs.
