Inorganic Membranes for Energy and Environmental Applications

Download or read book Inorganic Membranes for Energy and Environmental Applications written by Arun C. Bose and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-10-08 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research interest in inorganic membrane materials and processes has significantly increased in recent years due to novel, potentially low-cost energy and fuel production applications. This book 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, i.e., size exclusion filtration, solution-diffusion, and mixed ion-electron conduction of the permeate streams. This is the first book on the use of inorganic membranes for fuel and energy applications.
