Polymeric Membrane Formation by Phase Inversion analyzes the four main phase inversion techniques. Effective parameters in each technique are covered, along with the methodologies needed to prepare advanced membranes for specific separations in both liquid and gas phases. Roll-to-roll casting, spinning hollow fiber, and electrospinning nanofibers are presented, along with an analysis of the impact of solvent toxicity, membrane production, and the source of raw materials on the environment. The book describes a roadmap for designing different morphological characteristics for preparing specific membranes for special applications, along with the merits and disadvantages of each method. This book provides an easy, comprehensive reference for academic and industry professionals working in membrane engineering.

Analyzes membrane formation by phase inversion and modelingIncludes state-of-the-art membrane formation methods and related characterization techniquesDiscusses solvent toxicity and sustainability issues of membrane production

Membrane Modification: Technology and Applications is written for engineers, scientists, graduate students, and researchers in the field of membrane science and technology, materials science, applied physics, chemistry, and environmental science. The book presents the complete range of membrane modification techniques used to increase efficiency of membrane processes. The book starts with an examination of the use of membrane modification to optimize the performance of membranes used in industry. It concludes by demonstrating how membrane modification can improve separation processes in industrial sectors that are recognized as global polluters of water sources. Features Illustrates the use of Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) in the characterization of commercial and novel membranesOverviews various surface modification techniques applied to enhance the bulk and surface properties of nanofiber membranesCovers the factors affecting membrane fouling and the use of nanoparticles in membrane modification processesExplores the use of plasma treatment for the modification of polymeric membranesWritten by professors, engineers, and researchers in the field, the book covers recent advances and comprehensively describes novel and most-used membrane characterization techniques. Modification of different materials and geometrics include flat-sheet, hollow-fiber, and nano-fiber membranes as well as different membrane processes such as reverse osmosis, membrane distillation, gas separation, pervaporation, and membrane fuel cells. Chapters contain tables, figures, photographs, and theoretical equations to aid with reader comprehension.
