Membranes for Environmental Applications

Membranes are gaining more and more interest in many different fields because of the low-energy consumption, the mild operating conditions, the possibility to be integrated with other membranes and conventional processes, and the easy scale-up. Thanks to these peculiarities, membranes have been already successfully used in environmental applications. In addition to well-established membrane operations, new ones have been developed, allowing the possibility of enlarging the applicative spectrum of membrane units. This Special Issue will highlight the importance of the membranes in Environmental Applications. It welcomes both original contributions and reviews related to applications using membranes, mainly for wastewater treatment, desalination, drinking water production, water reuse, removal of toxic metals from water, Volatile Organic Compounds removal from aqueous or gas streams, CO2 removal, and production and recovery of high-added value products from wastewater.
