Pervaporation, Vapour Permeation and Membrane Distillation: From Membrane Fabrication to Application
Francesco Galiano, Roberto Castro‐Muñoz, Alberto Figoli
Abstract
In recent decades, membrane technologies have attracted a lot of interest in operations for highly selective separations. Particularly, pervaporation (PV), vapour permeation (VP) and membrane distillation (MD) represent three membrane processes well-studied and applied at the research level and with a great potential of exploitation in different industrial sectors. [...].
