Annotation

Current Trends and Future Developments on (Bio-) Membranes: Reverse and Forward Osmosis: Principles, Applications, Advances covers the important aspects of RO, FO and their combination in integrated systems, along with their specific and well-established applications. The book offers an overview of recent developments in the field of forward and reverse osmosis and their applications in water desalination, wastewater treatment, power generation and food processing. General principles, membrane module developments, membrane fouling, modeling, simulation and optimization of both technologies are also covered. The book's ultimate goal is to support the scientific community, professionals and enterprises that aspire to develop new applications. Provides an overview of the advances made in combining reverse osmosis membrane technology and the corresponding forward osmosis Provides a comprehensive review of advanced research on membrane processes for water desalination, wastewater treatments, etc. Addresses key issues in process intensification and extraction of energy from renewable sources Identifies further research needs for the practical implementation of these two membrane technologies
