Membranes for clean and renewable power applicationsEdited by A Gugliuzza and A Basile, ITM-CNR, Italy
Woodhead Publishing Series in Energy No. 62
The development and deployment of membrane technologies continues to advance thanks to innovative materials and novel engineering approaches. Given a background of increasing research into clean and renewable power production, membranes are becoming increasingly adopted due to the process intensification and economic advantages they present. This comprehensive and systematic reference work charts the progress of membrane usage in clean and renewable power production, including coverage of their utilisation in advanced biofuel processing, novel and scalable fuel cells, and advanced solar, water and wind applications.
