Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the last decade, population of the globe increased rapidly that increased the demand of fresh drinking water. There are very few fresh water sources available in the world, most of water is either saline or polluted that needs to be purified before making it able for drinking. Various chemical and biological methods are employed for water purification but these conventional techniques produce toxic byproducts those are not environmentally friendly, the purified water quality is not good and the process required a large footprint.
Multidisciplinary, innovative and high value development of high performance, cost-effective and environmentally acceptable separation systems is highly desired to tackle the sustainability challenges that are facing current water purification technology. Owing to their versatility and immense potentials to evolve scientific and technical innovations, nanotechnology is probably one of the most prominent strategies that has gained growing scientific and public recognition to provide solutions that can extend the limits of sustainability in membrane water purification technology. The applications of nanomaterials and nanocomposite in water purification using membranes are anticipated to foster untapped initiatives and innovation in fundamental science, engineering and technology to spearhead the new wave of leading edge sustainable water purification using membrane technology.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:
- Membrane Synthesis
- Membrane surface modification
- Membrane Process modelling
- Microfiltration
- Ultrafiltration
- Reverse Osmosis
- Membrane Bioreactor
- Membrane process design
- Produced water treatment
- Artificial Intelligence application to membrane processes
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
