Advancing membrane technology in organic liquids towards a sustainable future
Membrane technology holds enormous potential for reducing the energy consumption of various separation processes. It is of particular importance for energy-intensive industrial separation processes in organic liquids, such as crude oil fractionation. Most recent developments have focused on identifying ground-breaking materials that provide outstanding stability and rapid separation. However, the sustainability implications of such performance optimizations remain unclear. This Review aims to highlight how membrane technology can drive sustainability and steer industries towards a sustainable future. In particular, it provides perspectives on promising materials, manufacturing processes and industrial applications with respect to energy saving, process intensification and environmental impacts. This Review highlights how membrane technology can drive sustainability and steer industries towards a sustainable future, providing perspectives on materials, manufacturing processes and applications with respect to energy saving, process intensification and environmental impacts.
期刊介绍:
Nature Sustainability aims to facilitate cross-disciplinary dialogues and bring together research fields that contribute to understanding how we organize our lives in a finite world and the impacts of our actions.
Nature Sustainability will not only publish fundamental research but also significant investigations into policies and solutions for ensuring human well-being now and in the future.Its ultimate goal is to address the greatest challenges of our time.
