Membrane Technologies for Water Treatment: Removal of Toxic Trace Elements with Emphasis on Arsenic, Fluoride and Uranium (Sustainable Water Developments - Resources, Management, Treatment, Efficiency and Reuse #1)
by Jan Hoinkis Alberto Figoli Jochen BundschuhFocuses on the application of membrane technologies in removing toxic metals\metalloids from water. Particular attention is devoted to the removal of arsenic, uranium, and fluoride. These compounds are all existing in the earth’s crust at levels between two and five thousands micrograms per kg (parts per million) on average and these compounds can be considered highly toxic to humans, who are exposed to them primarily from air, food and water. In order to comply with the new maximum contaminant level, numerous studies have been undertaken to improve established treatments or to develop novel treatment technologies for removing toxic metals from contaminated surface and groundwater. Among the technologies available, applicable for water treatment, membrane technology has been identified as a promising technology to remove such toxic metals from water. The book describes both pressure driven (traditional processes, such as Nanofiltration, Reverse Osmosis, Ultrafiltration,etc) and more advanced membrane processes (such as forward osmosis, membrane distillation, and membrane bio-reactors) employed in the application of interest. Key aspect of this book is to provide information on both the basics of membrane technologies and on the results depending on the type of technology employed.

Membrane Technology for Air Cleaning: Fabrication, Characterization and Application
by Zhaoxiang Zhong Weihong XingThis book highlights a comprehensive and systematic introduction to the science and technology of gas cleaning membranes. Starting from basic concepts and principles, the book covers the preparation methods, performance parameters, and advances in applications of different types of membrane materials. Industrial smoke and dust emissions are one of the main causes of atmospheric haze. How to strictly control the emission of ultrafine dust and achieve efficient and clean utilization of resources is a common problem faced by industries related to chemical engineering, energy, steel, metallurgy, and building materials. There is an urgent need for new separation technologies. The low efficiency of traditional dust removal technologies cannot meet increasingly strict emission requirements.

Especially for the purification of high-temperature gases, it can maximize the utilization of the physical sensible heat of the gas and achieve energy recovery. This book first introduces relevant concepts and terms, separation principles, structure characterization, and evaluation methods of gas cleaning membranes. According to the characteristics of application environments, the preparation methods, performance parameters and application progress of different types of membrane materials, including those for medium and low temperature gases, high temperature gases as well as multi-functional membranes, are described in detail. Relevant equipment and typical application cases in indoor air purification, medical, and industrial fields are discussed. The book also summarizes latest theoretical research frontiers and projects future development trends in this field. This book can be used as a valuable reference for undergraduate and graduate students in materials science, chemical engineering, environmental engineering and researchers engaged in the development of air filtration materials and gas purification technology. The English translation of this book, originally in Chinese, was facilitated by artificial intelligence. The content was later revised by the author for accuracy.

Consequently, greater emphasis is placed on novel materials for gas separation. Possible design strategies and role of novel materials are discussed. Additionally, the latest progress in design and preparation of asymmetric membranes for natural gas purification are highlighted. In fact, further development should focus on module and process design in order to bring gas separation membrane technology into commercial application.

Membrane Transport Mechanism
by Reinhard Krämer Christine ZieglerThis book provides a molecular view of membrane transport by means of numerous biochemical and biophysical techniques. The rapidly growing numbers of atomic structures of transporters in different conformations and the constant progress in bioinformatics have recently added deeper insights The unifying mechanism of energized solute transport across membranes is assumed to consist of the conformational cycling of a carrier protein to provide access to substrate binding sites from either side of a cellular membrane. Due to the central role of active membrane transport there is considerable interest in deciphering the principles of one of the most fundamental processes in nature: the alternating access mechanism This book brings together particularly significant structure-function studies on a variety of carrier systems from different transporter families: Glutamate symporters, LeuT-like fold transporters, MFS transporters and SMR (RND) exporters, as well as ABC-type importers The selected examples impressively demonstrate how the combination of functional analysis, crystallography, investigation of dynamics and computational studies has made it possible to create a conclusive picture or more precisely, "a molecular movie". Although we are still far from a complete molecular description of the alternating access mechanism, remarkable progress has been made from static snapshots towards membrane transport dynamics.
