Synopsis

The development and deployment of membrane technologies continues to advance thanks to innovative materials and novel engineering approaches. Membranes for clean and renewable power applications introduces the principles and concepts of membrane technology and explores the use of this technology in clean energy applications. Chapters in part one introduce the utilization of membrane technology in the production of clean and renewable power and the combining of membrane processes with renewable energy technologies. Part two focusses on membranes for biofuel production and processing. Chapters in part three discuss membranes for syngas, hydrogen and oxygen production and processing. Part four explores membranes for fuel cells including ceramic membranes for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) and direct bioethanol fuel cells. Finally, part five discusses membranes integrated with solar, wind energy and water-related applications.

Key Features: introduces the principles and concepts of membrane technology and explores the use of this technology in clean energy applications.
