This textbook gives a clear and coherent overview of ceramic membranes, from preparation methods all the way to applications and economics. The authors, who are known for their clear writing style, combine their expertise in environmental engineering and porous materials to cover a wide range of examples, with over 1000 references. Chapters 1, 2 and 3 give a detailed introduction to membrane synthesis, transport mechanisms, and characterisation. Building on this, Chapter 4 outlines the state-of-the-art in ceramic membrane applications, including fuel cells, water purification, gas separation, and the making of cheeses, fruit juice, wine and beer. The final chapter deals with the economics of ceramic membrane processes, using industrial case studies to examine market barriers and opportunities.

Ceramics are known throughout history, but now, after thousands of years, they''re making a comeback. Indeed, they may hold the key for addressing three of today''s biggest challenges: clean energy, drinking water and air pollution. This book is a must-have for anyone who wants to enter the ceramic membranes field, or keep up-to-date with the latest developments and applications.

This four-volume handbook gives a state-of-the-art overview of porous materials, from synthesis and characterization and simulation all the way to manufacturing and industrial applications. The editors, coming from academia and industry, are known for their didactic skills as well as their technical expertise. Coordinating the efforts of 37 expert authors in 14 chapters, they construct the story of porous carbons, ceramics, zeolites and polymers from varied viewpoints: surface and colloidal science, materials science, chemical engineering, and energy engineering. Volumes 1 and 2 cover the fundamentals of preparation, characterisation, and simulation of porous materials. Working from the fundamentals all the way to the practicalities of industrial production processes, the subjects include hierarchical materials, in situ and operando characterisation using NMR, X-Ray scattering and tomography, state-of-the-art molecular simulations of adsorption and diffusion in crystalline nanoporous materials, as well as the emerging areas of bio-artificing and drug delivery. Volume 3 focuses on porous materials in industrial separation applications, including adsorption separation, membrane separation, and osmotic distillation. Finally, and highly relevant to tomorrow's energy challenges, Volume 4 explains the energy engineering aspects of applying porous materials in supercapacitors, fuel cells, batteries, electrolysers and sub-surface energy applications.The text contains many high-quality colourful illustrations and examples, as well as thousands of up-to-date references to peer-reviewed articles, reports and websites for further reading. This comprehensive and well-written handbook is a must-have reference for universities, research groups and companies working with porous materials.Related Link(s);;;

This second volume of the Handbook of Energy, Environment, and the Circular Economy focuses on Sustainable Resource Management at the intersection of energy systems, environmental chemistry, and circular materials. Building on the conceptual framework established in Volume 1, it provides an in-depth examination of key scientific and technological pathways that enable the transition from the linear economy to circular energy and material flows.The chapters address fundamental and applied aspects of environmental chemistry, water–energy interactions, plastics recycling, and emerging catalytic systems for sustainable chemical production. Emphasis is placed on understanding material cycles, process efficiency, and system integration across the energy, water, and industrial sectors. The chapters combine theoretical foundations with practical insights, highlighting state-of-the-art technologies, techno-economic considerations, and real-world implementation challenges.Authored by leading researchers from academia and international research institutes, this volume offers a balanced perspective that integrates chemical engineering, environmental science, and energy systems analysis. Richly illustrated and extensively referenced, it serves both as a comprehensive reference work and as a teaching resource for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses.This volume is intended for researchers, engineers, policy analysts, and decision-makers seeking scientifically grounded solutions for sustainable resource management within the broader context of the circular economy and global energy transition.
