Request a sales quoteCurrent Trends and Future Developments on (Bio-) Membranes: Photocatalytic Membranes and Photocatalytic Membrane Reactors offers a comprehensive review on the state-of-the-art in the area of PMs and PMRs. The book gives an overview of the basis of photocatalysis and membrane separation and the basic aspects of photocatalytic membranes and photocatalytic membrane reactors, along with their applications, modeling, and the economic aspects of PMs and PMRs. The book addresses the main issues associated with PMRs design and tries to predict how long it will be before laboratory scale models can be scaled to the PMR industry.
- Reviews new hybrid separation techniques based on photocatalysis and membranes
- Offers a detailed description of the various photocatalytic membrane reactors and their function
- Includes new membrane based separation techniques for the removal of emerging contaminants from water, such as pharmaceutical and personal care products
- Discusses numerous reactor configurations and various membrane materials for photocatalytic membranes
- Includes the modeling and economic aspects of various processes
Graduates, postgraduate students and researchers in the area of catalysis, membranes and membrane reactors in chemistry, chemical engineering, materials sciences and related disciplines. R&D managers in industry interested in the development of membranes; membrane installation and photocatalytic materials manufacturers; Water and wastewater treatment plants
