Membrane Engineering for the Treatment of Gases

Now Published

Membrane Engineering for the Treatment of Gases

Edited By Enrico Drioli and Giuseppe Barbieri

This two-volume set presents the state-of-the-art in membrane engineering for the separation of gases. It addresses future developments in carbon capture and utilization, H2 production and purification and O2/N2 separation. Topics covered include: applications of membrane gas separation in the petrochemical industry, implementation of membrane processes for post-combustion capture, commercial applications of membranes in gas separations, simulation of membrane systems for CO2 capture, design and development of membrane reactors for industrial applications, Pd-based membranes in hydrogen production and purification, novel hybrid membrane/pressure swing adsorption process  for gas separation, molecular dynamics as a new tool for membrane design and the physical aging of membranes for gas separations.

Volume One  focuses predominantly on gas-separation problems relating to membranes and Volume Two on gas-separation problems combined with membrane reactors. Both volumes will be essential reading for all those involved in chemical, petrochemical , environmental and energy engineering.

Renewable Resources for Functional Polymers and Biomaterials

Renewable Resources for Functional Polymers and BiomaterialsThe first title within the RSC Polymer Chemistry Series is now published. Edited by Peter A Williams, Renewable Resources for Functional Polymers and Biomaterials covers the source, production, structures and properties of some of the most important biomacromolecules with applications in the fields of biotechnology and medicine. The importance of renewable based materials has lead to a renaissance in the chemistry of biomacromolecules and the new book features polysaccharides obtained from botanical, algal, animal and microbial sources; microbial polyesters; the glycoproteins fibronectin and laminin as well as an introduction to nucleic acid polymers and genetic engineering.
