About this title

Synopsis

Electrically Conductive Membrane Materials and Systems offers in-depth insight into the transformative role of electrically conductive materials in membrane separation processes for desalination and water treatment. The book focuses on the intelligent design of conductive membranes and systems, fouling and related phenomena, fouling control using electrically conductive materials, and electrically tunable membrane systems for microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis, and membrane distillation.

With rising concerns around inaccessibility to freshwater and the ever increasing threats of population growth, climate change, and urban development, the book brings electrically conducting materials to the forefront of membrane separation technology with an emphasis on their role in the mitigation of fouling and related phenomena. Electrically conducting materials expand the versatility of membrane technology and ultimately improve access to safe water.

The book is important reading for scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, and enthusiasts from the water industry who seek to familiarize themselves with a groundbreaking area of study within modern desalination and water treatment.

• Explores novel membrane materials and systems from preparation methods, materials selection, and their application in monitoring, fouling control, and performance enhancement.

• Examines the mechanism of fouling prevention and cleaning in various electrically conductive materials.

• Evaluates the scalability of antifouling materials and coatings, as well as electrically enhanced processes for monitoring and control in membrane separation technology.

• Assesses advantages and limitations of applying electrically conductive membrane systems to fouling control for specific water treatment applications.

• Provides a critical review of scientific literature in the specialized area of electrical conductive materials and systems for membrane technology.

He was awarded the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Industrial Research and Development Fellow in 2006. He was also a visiting scholar at MIT between 2008 and 2009. He has built core strengths in materials processing, characterization and applications. The objectives of his research in electrically conductive membranes is to develop high-performing membrane materials for specific water treatment and desalination applications and to apply these multifunctional membranes to fouling control and performance enhancement.

Professor Nidal Hilal is a Chartered Engineer in the United Kingdom, a registered European Engineer, an elected Fellow of both the Institution of Chemical Engineers, and the Learned Society of Wales. He received his bachelor's degree in chemical engineering in 1981 followed by a master's degree in advanced chemical engineering from Swansea University in 1986. He received his PhD degree from Swansea University in 1988. In 2005 he was awarded a Doctor of Science degree (DSc) from the University of Wales in recognition of an outstanding research contribution in the fields Water Processing including Desalination and Membrane Science and Technology. He was also awarded, by the Emir of Kuwait, the prestigious Kuwait Prize (Kuwait Medal) of Applied Science for the year 2005 and the Menelaus Medal 2020, by the Learned Society of Wales, for excellence in engineering and technology.

His research interests lie broadly in the identification of innovative and cost-effective solutions within the fields of nano-water, membrane technology, water treatment, desalination and colloid engineering. He has published 8 handbooks and around 600 articles in the refereed scientific literature. He has chaired and delivered lectures at numerous international conferences and prestigious organizations around the world.

Professor Hilal sits on the editorial boards of a number of international journals, is an advisory board member of several multinational organizations, and has served on/consulted for industry, government departments, research councils, and universities on an international basis.
