Current Trends and Future Developments on (Bio-) Membranes - Reverse and Forward Osmosis: Principles, Applications, Advances

This book provides a comprehensive and thorough coverage of recent developments of Forward Osmosis, Reverse Osmosis and their combination in integrated systems for specific applications including water desalination, wastewater treatment, power generation and food processing. These applications are a good example of strategies for engineering development and process intensification of interest for both industrial and developing countries. General principles, membrane module developments, membrane fouling as well as modelling, simulation and optimization of both technologies are also covered.
