Antibiofouling Membranes for Water and Wastewater Treatment (eBook)

Antibiofouling Membranes for Water and Wastewater Treatment: Principles and Applications covers most recent advances, challenges, and industrial applications of antibiofouling membranes to help in reducing cost and increasing sustainability of long term-filtration performance of membranes in water and wastewater treatment. This book will provide a compact source of relevant and timely information on antibiofouling membranes and will be of great interest to scientists, engineers, industry R&D personnel, and graduate students engaged in the development, engineering scale-up, and applications of antibiofouling membranes, as well as other readers who are interested in microfiltration, membrane bioreactor, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis, and related topics. - Covers scientific and engineering principles of antibiofouling membranes for water and wastewater treatment - Unravels the structure-preparation-property-application relationship of antibiofouling membranes - Provides advanced design strategies of antibiofouling membrane materials - Summarizes and critically discusses antibiofouling membrane materials based on biocidal nanomaterials and quaternary ammonium compounds - Focuses on the state-of-the-art applications of antibiofouling membranes for water and wastewater treatment

Zhiwei Wang is dean of the School of Environmental Science and Engineering at Tongji University, China. His research interests are in the field of wastewater treatment and reclamation using physical-chemical and biological technologies. He is particularly interested in the membrane-based processes for wastewater treatment and energy/resource recovery. Professor Wang served as chair of the International Water Association (IWA) China Young Water Professionals, currently an IWA Fellow, a member of Management Committee of IWA Specialist Group on Membrane Technology, Executive Management Committee of Chinese Society for Environmental Sciences, and vice director of Young Scientists Committee of Chinese Society for Environmental Sciences. He also serves on the editorial boards of several journals including the Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering, Environmental Research, Fundamental Research (NSFC), and Scientific Reports and Environmental Engineering (Chinese Journal). He has authored/co-authored over 200 peer-reviewed papers in SCI-indexed journals.
