Membrane Applications

The Section “Membrane Engineering and Applications" of Membranes aims to rapidly publish original research papers and reviews on varying aspects of engineering and applications of membrane research. The Section Board consists of distinguished scientists that support the Section Editor-in-Chief in completing this mission. This Section involves a wide spectrum of scientific topics relevant to membrane engineering and applications such as structure and property relationship studies, membrane fouling, new membrane materials and designs, and novel membrane processes and applications. Selected topics include but are not limited to: 

• Membranes for gas separation
• Membranes for liquid separation
• Membranes for water filtration (microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis and forward osmosis)
• Membranes for energy (fuel cells and battery)
• Membranes for bioreactor
• Membranes for pervaporation
• Membrane distillation and crystallization
• Organic–inorganic composite membranes
• Metal–organic framework membranes
• Inorganic porous membranes
• Hydrogen permeable metal membranes
• Novel membrane systems and processes
• Membrane reactors for process intensification
• Membrane processes for water treatments
• Membrane processes for chemical separations
