Current Trends and Future Developments in (Bio-) Membranes: Recent Advances in Metallic Membranes presents recent developments in metallic membranes used in membrane reactors to save energy. It also offers a comprehensive review of the present state-of-the-art on the fabrication and design of metallic membranes and membrane reactors, considering various applications. This book focuses on the structure, preparation, characterization and applications of metallic membranes and membrane reactors, as well as transport mechanisms and simulation aspects. As recent research has focused on the development of metallic membranes and their applications, this book is an ideal reference on different production procedures and their use.
