Geothermal Water Management
Availability of and adequate accessibility to freshwater and energy are two key technological and scientific problems of global significance. At the end of the 20th century, the deficit of water for human consumption and economic application forced us to focus on rational use of resources. Increasing the use of renewable energy sources and improving energy efficiency is a challenge for the 21st century. Geothermal energy is heat energy generated and stored in the Earth, accumulated in hydrothermal systems or in dry rocks within the Earth’s crust, in amounts which constitute the energy resources. The sustainable management of geothermal energy resources should be geared towards optimization...
Hydrogen Purification and Separation
The purification of hydrogen is necessary to fulfill purity standards of a wide variety of prospective uses, and it is also a key concern regarding the efficient supply of hydrogen. Hydrogen Purification and Separation reviews various hydrogen separation methods as well as membranes used in hydrogen separation. It discusses absorption and adsorption methods, as well as novel technologies such as cryogenic methods and plasma‐assisted technology, and the related economic assessments and environmental challenges. Introduces miscellaneous membrane‐assisted processes for hydrogen separation Provides different physiochemical absorption methods for hydrogen purification Discusses application of sorbents and swing technologies in hydrogen purification Uniquely covers hydrogen separation using novel methods Includes economic assessments and environmental challenges of hydrogen purification in detail Part of the multivolume Handbook of Hydrogen Production and Applications, this standalone book guides researchers and academics in chemical, environmental, energy, and related areas of engineering interested in development and implementation of hydrogen production technologies.
The Treatment of Pharmaceutical Wastewater

Membrane and Membrane Reactors Operations in Chemical Engineering
This Special Issue is aimed at highlighting the potentialities of membrane and membrane reactor operations in various sectors of chemical engineering, based on application of the process intensification strategy. In all of the contributions, the principles of process intensification were pursued during the adoption of membrane technology, demonstrating how it may lead to the development of redesigned processes that are more compact and efficient while also being more environmental friendly, energy saving, and amenable to integration with other green processes. This Special Issue comprises a number of experimental and theoretical studies dealing with the application of membrane and membrane reactor technology in various scientific fields of chemical engineering, such as membrane distillation for wastewater treatment, hydrogen production from reforming reactions via inorganic membrane and membrane photoassisted reactors, membrane desalination, gas/liquid phase membrane separation of CO2, and membrane filtration for the recovery of antioxidants from agricultural byproducts, contributing to valorization of the potentialities of membrane operations.
Membrane Reactor Engineering
Uniquely focussed on the engineering aspects of membrane reactors Provides tools for analysis with specific regard to sustainability Applications include water treatment, wastewater recycling, desalination, biorefineries, agro-food production Membrane reactors can bring energy saving, reduced environmental impact and lower operating costs
