Synopsis

Current Trends and Future Developments on (Bio-) Membranes: Carbon Dioxide Separation/Capture by Using Membranes explores the unique property of membranes to separate gases with different physical and chemical properties. The book covers both polymeric and inorganic materials for CO₂ separation and explains their mechanism of action, allowing for the development and most appropriate and efficient processes. It also lists the advantages of using membranes instead of other separation techniques, i.e., their low operating costs and low energy consumption. This book offers a unique opportunity for scientists working in the field of membrane technology for CO₂ separation and capture.

About the Authors

Angelo Basile, a Chemical Engineer with a Ph.D. in Technical Physics, was a senior Researcher at the ITM-CNR as a responsible for the research related to both ultra-pure hydrogen production and CO2 capture using Pd-based Membrane Reactors. He is a reviewer for 165 int. journals, an editor/author of more than 50 scientific books and 140 chapters on international books on membrane science and technology; with various patens (7 Italian, 2 European, and 1 worldwide). He is a referee of 1more than 150 international scientific journals and a Member of the Editorial Board of more than 20 of them. Basile is also an associate editor of the: Int. J. Hydrogen Energy; Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Eng.; journal Frontiers in Membrane Science and Technology; and co-Editor-in-chief of the Int. J. Membrane Science & Technol.

Evangelos P. Favvas is a Senior Researcher at the Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology in NCSR “Demokritos”, Athens - Greece. He has 80 scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals and 100 articles in international congresses; editor of 2 scientific books, 2 Greek and 4 worldwide patents. His research interests embrace the experimental study of gas separation, with emphasis on carbon dioxide and hydrogen separations, using membranes, sorbents and hybrid porous materials. The in-situ study of condensation process using the combination of X-ray and neutron scattering and adsorption techniques is another filed of his interests.
