Conference Overview
Membranes for various types of applications, involving gas or liquid separation, have become increasingly important the last twenty years. The technology is no longer focusing only on using a membrane material as a barrier for the separation of main components in a fluid stream, but also on the science of tailoring advanced materials which may take an active part in the separation. This may be done by incorporating carriers, nanoparticles, catalysts or treatment of the surfaces; organic or inorganic materials. There is a focus on membrane materials to be durable in all kind of environments; harsh industrial environments, withstanding high or low temperatures and pressures; even trying to mimick the way membranes work in nature. And for each and every process where the membranes are considered, the membranes represent environmental friendly solutions to complex and difficult separations. Modelling and simulations have become an integrated part of membrane research. The conference presented here will give you and overview of the most advanced materials and newest technologies for membranes presented by top qualified researchers - and the main theme is Membranes for Clean and Sustainable Processes.
