Current Trends and Future Developments in (Bio-) Membranes: Membranes in Environmental Applications offers an overview of environmental pollution, covering the air, water, waste from agriculture and climate change, and including emerging offenders such as microplastics and electronic waste which can be solved by conventional and advanced membrane techniques. Chapters cover environmental pollution issues followed by specific membrane processes, problems related to environmental pollution, and the different techniques used for solving these problems. For each pollutant, such as CO₂ and fuel, water and wastewater, waste from agriculture, etc., specific membrane processes are described.

1. CO2 Emission and air pollution (VOC, etc) related problems climate change
2. Membranes and Membrane Reactor for CO2 removal
3. Air pollution (VOC, etc) and climate change
4. Membranes for air treatment
5. Fuel and Hydrogen related problems
6. Fuel and Hydrogen treatment and production by membranes
7. Metals toxic pollutants in the environment: Anthropogenic and Geological causes
8. Membranes for toxic and heavy metals removal
9. Wastewater problems and treatments
10. Membrane processes for wastewater remediation
11. Aquatic/Water Environment, treatment and use (i.e. plastics in the seawater, etc)
12. Seawater treatment and energy production by membranes
13. Bio-based and agriculture resources and waste production
14. Bio-refinery by membrane processes
15. General Catalyst related issues
16. Membrane Reactors
