Membrane separation technology utilizes membranes to serve
as barriers or filters for target species within liquid, gas or colloidal
particle mixtures [0e0]. Non-conventional separation methods
offer certain advantages, including higher separation efficiency,
increased energy conversion and environmental protection, and
increased versatility. Non-traditional membrane separation technology utilizes enhanced selectivity and affinity membrane layers
to increase separation efficiencies and reduce environmental
problems due to a wider range of applications, which include water
and contaminants treatment and processing and hazardous organic
recovery.
