SYNOPSIS |
| Membranolgoy which in this talk refers to Membrane Technology, is an interdisciplinary area of study which requires knowledge in material science, physical chemistry, fluid dynamics and rheology. Membrane technology has advanced considerably in the last 50 years. Through technological advances, mass production and more effective methods/techniques in the application of membranes, consumer consumer confidence and adoption of the technology have increased. Today membranes or membrane processes are used in water and wasterwater treatment, air pollution control, gas separation, pharmaceutical industries, bioengineering, food industry, just to name a few. This seminar will give an introduction to membranology and how it has evolved over the years. It will also cover some of the practical problems of membrane processes and how they can be overcome. Some of the recent research trends in membrane technology as well as the membrane research being out at EWTCOI will be presented. |
