Current Trends and Future Developments on (Bio-) Membranes: Microporous Membrane and Membrane Reactors focuses on the structure, preparation, characterization and applications of microporous membranes and membrane reactors, including transport mechanisms through a range of microporous membranes. It is a key reference text for R&D managers who are interested in the development of gas separation and water/waste treatment technologies, but is also well-suited for academic researchers and postgraduate students working in the broader area of strategic material production, separation and purification. Users will find comprehensive coverage of current methods, their characterization and properties, and various applications in gas separation and water treatment.

Kamran Ghasemzadeh is an associate professor in the Faculty of Chemical Engineering at the Urmia University of Technology, Iran where he has been a faculty member since 2014. From 2016-2018, also, he was nominated as head of chemical engineering faculty. On the other hand, from August 2018, he is nominated as director of UUT research center in Urmia university of technology. His research interests lie in the area of membrane and membrane reactor processes, ranging from modeling to design to implementation. In recent years, he has focused on study of inorganic membranes (graphene, silica and palladium membranes) performances for gas separation and water treatment from both aspects of experimental and modeling point of views. He has collaborated actively with researchers in several other disciplines of chemical engineering, particularly simulation of chemical processes by commercial Comsol Multiphysics, Fluent and Aspen Hysys software. Moreover, he has succeeded to publish more than seventy ISI and conference papers, two patents, seven books and also more than forty book chapters. Hence, Kamran has served on roughly twenty conference and workshop program committees.
