Inorganic Membranes for Energy and Environmental Applications

By Arun C. Bose

As the demand and costs for energy increases, researchers and engineers have been looking into inorganic membrane materials and processes for potentially low-cost energy and fuel production applications. This book offers an ideal starting point. It details the use of inorganic membranes for fuel and energy applications. Coverage documents the recent progress in membrane science, especially in advanced materials and novel reaction and separation concepts. The book classifies membranes based on the mechanism of operation: size exclusion filtration, solution-diffusion, and mixed ion-electron conduction of the permeate streams. It will be of great interest to chemists, electrochemists, materials scientists and engineers, chemical and mechanical engineers, and other R&D personnel in energy and fuel production.
