Current Trends and Future Developments in (Bio-) Membranes: Renewable Energy Integrated with Membrane Operations offers an overview of advanced technologies in the field of water desalination, wastewater treatment and hydrogen production that is coupled with renewable energy sources. Membrane processes are well-recognized technologies in the field of water and wastewater treatment. This book reviews their potential and lists new technologies which allow for the use of solar, hydroelectric, wind, hydrothermal and other forms of renewable energy with the same effect. In addition, it highlights what has already been achieved in the integration of membrane reactors and energy produced by biomass.
- Provides an overview of the interconnections between membrane technology and renewable energy sources
- Provides a comprehensive review of advanced research on membrane processes for water desalination, wastewater treatment and hydrogen production
- Relates the various processes to energy sources, including solar, wind, biomass and geothermal energy
