The increasing demand for water and energy poses technological challenges to the implementation of efficient concepts for a sustainable development. In this perspective, electromembrane processes (EMPs) can play a crucial role in green chemistry schemes oriented towards circular economy approaches and renewable energy systems. EMPs are based on the use of ion-exchange membranes under the action of an electric field. Versatility, selectivity, high recovery, and chemical-free operations are their main strengths. Experimental campaigns and modelling tools are prompting the improvement of consolidated processes and the development of novel concepts. Several application fields have been proposed (in chemical, food, pharmaceutical industries, and others) including desalination, water and wastewater treatment, recovery of valuable products, concentration and purification operations, chemical production, and energy production and storage. This book is a collection of the scientific contributions in the Special Issue Processes: Experiments and Modelling from the journal Membranes. It is focused on recent advancements in EMPs and their applications based on the development of cutting-edge engineered systems via experiments and/or models.

Abstract

The increasing demand for water and energy poses technological challenges to the implementation of efficient concepts for a sustainable development. In this perspective, electromembrane processes (EMPs) can play a crucial role in green chemistry schemes oriented towards circular economy approaches and renewable energy systems. EMPs are based on the use of ion-exchange membranes under the action of an electric field. Versatility, selectivity, high recovery, and chemical-free operations are their main strengths. Experimental campaigns and modelling tools are prompting the improvement of consolidated processes and the development of novel concepts. Several application fields have been proposed (in chemical, food, pharmaceutical industries, and others) including desalination, water and wastewater treatment, recovery of valuable products, concentration and purification operations, chemical production, and energy production and storage. This book is a collection of the scientific contributions in the Special Issue Processes: Experiments and Modelling from the journal Membranes. It is focused on recent advancements in EMPs and their applications based on the development of cutting-edge engineered systems via experiments and/or models.
