An updated guide to the growing field of nanofiltration including fundamental principles, important industrial applications as well as novel materials With contributions from an international panel of experts, the revised second edition of Nanofiltration contains a comprehensive overview of this growing field. The book covers the basic principles of nanofiltration including the design and characterizations of nanofiltration membranes. The expert contributors highlight the broad ranges of industrial applications including water treatment, food, pulp and paper, and textiles. The book explores photocatalytic nanofiltration reactors, organic solvent nanofiltration, as well as nanofiltration in metal and acid recovery. In addition, information on the most recent developments in the field are examined including nanofiltration retentate treatment and renewable energy-powered nanofiltration. The authors also consider the future of nanofiltration materials such as carbon- as well as polymer-based materials. This important book: Explores the fast growing field of the membrane process of nanofiltration Examines the rapidly expanding industrial sector's use of membranes for water purification Covers the most important industrial applications with a strong focus on water treatment Contains a section on new membrane materials, including carbon-based and polymer-based materials, as well as information on artificial ion and water channels as biomimetic membranes Written for scientists and engineers in the fields of chemistry, environment, food and materials, the second edition of Nanofiltration provides a comprehensive overview of the field, outlines the principles of the technology, explores the industrial applications, and discusses new materials.

The two-volume reference work Chemical Technology and the Environment provides readers with knowledge on contemporary issues in environmental pollution, prevention and control, as well as regulatory, health and safety issues as related to chemical technology. It introduces and expands the knowledge on emerging "green" materials and processes and "greener" energy technology, as well as more general concepts and methodology including sustainable development and chemistry and green chemistry. Based on Wiley's renowned, Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, this compact reference features the same breadth and quality of coverage and clarity of presentation found in the original.

Comprehensive Membrane Science and Engineering, Four Volume Set covers all aspects of membrane science and technology - from basic phenomena to the most advanced applications and future perspectives. Modern membrane engineering is critical to the development of process-intensification strategies and to the stimulation of industrial growth. The work presents researchers and industrial managers with an indispensable tool toward achieving these aims. Covers membrane science theory and economics, as well as applications ranging from chemical purification and natural gas enrichment to potable water Includes contributions and case studies from internationally recognized experts and from up-and-coming researchers working in this multi-billion dollar field Takes a unique, multidisciplinary approach that stimulates research in hybrid technologies for current (and future) life-saving applications (artificial organs, drug delivery)

Nanofiltration processes are finding wide applications in several 'wet' industries, such as water/wastewater treatment, water re-use, textile industry, diary industry, food industry and the pulp and paper industries. Despite this, no definitive book exists which covers the principles of the techniques and their potential and actual applications. ' Nanofiltration: Principles and Applications ' is edited by three well-known specialists from Australia, and contains chapters from top international authorities. The result is a comprehensive and up to date account which will be essential reading for membrane designers, manufacturers and end-users worldwide. *Hot industrial topic *Best Australian Editors and international contributors *The only book on the topic

Membrane separation is addressed as a pressure driven process. Pressure driven processes are commonly divided into four overlapping categories of increasing selectivity: microfiltration (MF), ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF) and hyperfiltration or reverse osmosis (RO). This book explores the field of nanofiltration membranes and nanofilters.

Membrane filtration is becoming the technology of choice in liquid separations around the world for applications including desalination, pretreatment, removal of suspended solids from water and wastewater, for membrane bioreactors as well as food and beverage processing. Advanced Ceramics for Photocatalytic Membranes: Synthesis, Characterization and Applications in Water and Wastewater Treatment reviews recent research on the application and use of advanced ceramic materials in photocatalytic membrane processes. Divided over five main sections, the first section discusses current developments in photocatalytic membrane processes. The second and third sections focus on synthesis and fabrication techniques using either physical or chemical approaches. The remaining sections cover diverse characterization methods and performance evaluations, followed by various types of environmental applications. The book is not only limited to the conceptual theory, but it also gives a detailed review of recent progress in materials science. It presents applications in different disciplines, i.e., chemistry, physics, and mechanics, that are critically required in modern science and engineering. The book presents an across-the-board briefing of the field, which will be suitable for use as a major reference, as well as a knowledge sharing tool. Designed for both experts and newcomers alike, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the most recent advances in the field on the application and use of advanced ceramic materials in photocatalytic membrane processes. Provides a comprehensive review of advanced ceramic materials used in photocatalytic membranes Covers synthesis of ceramic membranes via both physical and chemical approaches Discusses materials characterization, properties, and performance analysis Covers modeling, simulation, and the theory of mass transfer mechanisms Features applications in water and wastewater treatment Discusses system scale up, economic viability, and cost analysis
