Membrane Reactor Engineering: Applications for a Greener Process Industry

Uniquely focussed on the engineering aspects of membrane reactors

• Provides tools for analysis with specific regard to sustainability
• Applications include water treatment, wastewater recycling, desalination, biorefineries, agro-food production
• Membrane reactors can bring energy saving, reduced environmental impact and lower operating costs

Angelo Basile is a senior researcher at the Institute on Membrane Technology (ITM) of the Italian National Research Council (CNR). His research is focussed on ultra-pure hydrogen production and CO2 capture using inorganic membrane reactors as well as on the polymeric membranes (preparation and characterization) to be used for gas separation. Basile has published over 100 papers in the field of membrane technology, written over 50 book chapters and edited or co-edited 15 books.
