Current Developments in Biotechnology and Bioengineering

Current Developments in Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Membrane Technology for Sustainable Water and Energy Management covers a variety of advanced technologies for membrane proceses including water/wastewater treatment and reuse, membrane materials, oepration and maintenace, fouling control, life cycle assessment, removal of micro/emerging pollutants, and operational cost of membrane processes.The technologies involve modern membrane processes in which they are modified processes or coupled with novel materials and newly developed products for improving the performance of the treatment processes. Supported by prominent editors and global contributors, the reference also contains chapters describing membrane treatment strategies for the current pollution of complex organic matters, nutrients, toxic substances, microplastics, and membrane fouling control in different water resources. Principles, development, and applications to reuse water resources through promising separation technologies, including reverse osmosis, forward osmosis, and membrane distillation, are also included.
