Air Pollution, Air Quality, and Climate Change offers a review of the latest advances and developments in the study of air pollution and air quality in the face of continuing climate change. The editors begin with a detailed review of air pollution and its sources, effects, and impacts. In-depth chapters follow on atmospheric chemistry, air pollution meteorology, and take a look at indoor and urban air quality. The editors then explore the connection between air quality and climate change, the effects of CO2 on air quality, and use of carbon capture and storage. Finally, the book closes with a discussion of environmental policy making as well as future considerations for air pollution, air quality, and climate change. This text is a timely and valuable reference for anyone working towards solutions to reduce air pollution, improve air quality, and lessen the effects of climate change.

Current Trends and Future Developments on (Bio)-Membranes: Recent Achievements in Chemical Processes in Membrane Reactors introduces and analyzes chemical processes done in membrane reactors. The book highlights their performance and provides an overview of recent achievements in structural development of membrane reactor systems during chemical processes. Starting from chemical processes aspects and fundamentals of membrane reactor systems, via modeling and experimental and design concepts, to practitioners’ perspective and good application examples, the book sheds light and gives a broad but very detailed description through the point of view typical of an industrial engineer.This book is a key reference for R&D managers in industry interested in the development of chemical processes by membrane reactor technologies as well as academic researchers and postgraduate students working in the wider area of the strategic chemical, separation, and purification processes.

Progresses in Ammonia: Science, Technology and Membranes: Decomposition considers the membrane technology for improving ammonia decomposition. Various aspects are considered, including the catalytic extraction of hydrogen from ammonia, the recovery of hydrogen from ammonia production processes, the hydrogen production system combined with a membrane reactor from ammonia, highly purified hydrogen production from ammonia for PEM fuel cell, the carbon dioxide capture by aqueous ammonia with membrane, and the Ammonia decomposition in auto-thermal microchannel reactors). Mathematical simulation using the CFD model to investigate the effect of Ammonia decomposition is also discussed.

Progresses in Ammonia: Science, Technology and Membranes: Applications and Use covers various ammonia applications such as in sensors and devices, in dyes and cleaning, in cooling systems, in desalination, in anaerobic digestion, in terrestrial vegetation, in fabric, textile and leather products, in metals heat-treating, in acid deposition, in carbon dioxide capture, in the hydrogen production, storage and generation.

Advanced Technologies in Wastewater Treatment: Oily Wastewaters focus on characteristics and innovative treatment technologies of oily wastewater from various resources. The book discusses in detail primary and physical treatment methods, such as absorption and adsorption, as well as common techniques like coagulation and fluctuation. The applications of other advanced methods for oily wastewaters treatment, such as utilization of membranes and stripping gases, are thoroughly covered. Finally, novel technologies applied in purification of oily wastewaters-such as photocatalytic degradation and biological processes-are reviewed, and future outlooks and prospects are illustrated.
