Gas separation membranes offer a number of benefits over other
separation technologies, and they play an increasingly important
role in reducing the environmental impacts and costs of many
industrial processes.
This book describes recent and emerging results in membrane gas
separation, including highlights of nanoscience and technology,
novel polymeric and inorganic membrane materials, new membrane
approaches to solve environmental problems e.g. greenhouse gases,
aspects of membrane engineering, and recent achievements in
industrial gas separation. It includes:
* Hyperbranched polyimides, amorphous glassy polymers and
perfluorinated copolymers
* Nanocomposite (mixed matrix) membranes
* Polymeric magnetic membranes
* Sequestration of CO2 to reduce global warming
* Industrial applications of gas separation
Developed from sessions of the most recent International
Congress on Membranes and Membrane Processes, Membrane Gas
Separation gives a snapshot of the current situation, and
presents both fundamental results and applied achievements.
Robertson Meek & American Petrofina Foundation Centennial
Professor of Chemical Engineering University of Texas at Austin,
Center for Energy and Environmental Resources. He researches in
polymer science and engineering and, more specifically, in mass
transport in polymers. His work in this field started in North
Carolina State University, where he worked as assistant, associate
professor and full professor during the period 1989-2002. In 2002
he moved to Department of Chemical Engineering of the University of
Texas at Austin and currently directs 18 Ph.D. students and one
postdoctoral fellow performing fundamental research in mass
transport in polymers. I have taught a variety of short courses in
the membranes area for societies such the ACS, the North American
Membrane Society, and the International Congress on Membranes. I
have also taught a course on this topic at the graduate level at
the university. I have co-edited 4 books. Professor Freeman will be
the 2009 ACS Awardee in Polymer Science in 2009.
Yuri Yampolskii, Professor, Head of Laboratory of
membrane gas separation, A.V.Topchiev Institute of Petrochemical
Synthesis, Moscow, Russia. Since the middle of 70s has been engaged
in the studies of membrane separation, polymer physical chemistry
and related subjects. At present he is Head of the laboratory
dealing with the problems of membrane separation and pervaporation,
gas permeation properties of various polymeric materials, vapor
separation processes, sorption thermodynamics, free volume in
polymers. He has published about 200 papers in peer reviewed
journals and authored or co-authored several books.
