Advances in Membrane Technologies for Water Treatment

Advances in Membrane Technologies for Water Treatment: Materials, Processes and Applications provides a detailed overview of advanced water treatment methods involving membranes, which are increasingly seen as effective replacements for a range of conventional water treatment methods. The text begins with reviews of novel membrane materials and advances in membrane operations, then examines the processes involved with improving membrane performance. Final chapters cover the application of membrane technologies for use in water treatment, with detailed discussions on municipal wastewater and reuse in the textile and paper industries.

Angelo Basile is a senior researcher at the Institute on Membrane Technology (ITM) of the Italian National Research Council (CNR), Italy. He is currently researching H2 production and CO2 capture using Pd-based membrane technology and has edited and authored numerous books and articles on hydrogen as an energy source. Professor Basile is also an associate editor of the Internal Journal of Hydrogen Energy. Alberto Cassano, ITM-CNR, Italy. Navin K. Rastogi, Central Food Technological Research Institute, India.
