Membrane-Based Technologies for Environmental Pollution Control

Membrane Based Technologiesfor Environmental Pollution Control explains the application of this green technology while offering a systematic approach for accurately utilizing mathematical modeling methods for optimizing system design and scale-up. The book provides in-depth coverage of membrane processes, materials and modules, along with their potential application in various pollution control systems. Each chapter provides a systematic approach for dynamic model development and solutions. With this reference, researchers and those responsible for the design of pollution control systems will find a source that can maximize their efforts to reduce or prevent pollutants from entering all types of environmental media.

Professor Parimal is currently serving as HAG Professor (Higher Administrative Grade) and the senior most professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering, National Institute of Technology Durgapur, A Govt. of India Autonomous Institute of National importance. A Master of Technology from the Department of Chemical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, he joined academia in 1990 with a few years field experience in Indian Oil Corporation Limited the most profitable and largest petroleum industry in India. He holds PhD degree from Jadavpur University, Kolkata. Professor Pal developed a dozen of membrane-based green technologies and software for chemical and allied process industries. He has already earned patent rights of half a dozen novel technologies and copyright of two process optimization and control software. Dr. Pal supervised around one and a half dozen doctoral and postdoctoral thesis work.
