Features: Membrane technology is a clean and energy-efficient technology that can replace traditional or conventional processes. From its laboratory stage to becoming a commercial separation method, membrane technology has now been widely applied in the chemical industry. It has been applied in many chemical engineering fields, such as hydrogen separation, alcohol dehydration, recovery of organic vapors from process streams, and clean exhaust gas treatment. Additionally, membrane technology holds broad prospects for catalytic conversion in membrane reactors. In industrial wastewater treatment and the controlled production of high-value chemicals, membrane technology provides a unique solution. This book briefly summarizes various mature application examples of membrane technology in the chemical industry, reviews existing membranes and membrane processes in the field, and discusses the immense potential of this technology in chemical production processes. This book is suitable for engineering design personnel and management personnel in the chemical, petrochemical, and refining industries as a reference, as well as for teachers, students, and researchers in universities and research institutions.
