Description
Current Trends and Future Developments on (Bio-) Membranes: Carbon Dioxide Separation/Capture by Using Membranes explores the unique property of membranes to separate gases with different physical and chemical properties. The book covers both polymeric and inorganic materials for CO2 separation and explains their mechanism of action, allowing for the development and most appropriate and efficient processes. It also lists the advantages of using membranes instead of other separation techniques, i.e., their low operating costs and low energy consumption. This book offers a unique opportunity for scientists working in the field of membrane technology for CO2 separation and capture.
- Outlines numerous membrane-based technologies for CO2 separation and capture
- Lists new, advanced separation techniques and production processes
- Includes various applications, modelling, and the economic considerations of each process
- Covers advanced techniques for the separation of CO2 in natural gas
