Preface

This book, *Osmotically Driven Membrane Processes*, provides an overview of membrane systems and separation processes, recent trends in membranes and membrane processes, and advancements in osmotically driven membrane systems. Over three sections it provides a broad overview of membrane processes for researchers from either an engineering science or chemistry background, starting at a more elementary level, incorporating more advanced concepts, and integrating a wide variety of approaches. The book begins with a section discussing the preparation and applications of nanocomposite membranes for water/wastewater treatment. Chapters in this section address topics such as recent advances in measuring and controlling biofouling of seawater, membrane fabrication technologies, and membrane performances. In the second section, recent trends in membranes and membrane processes are discussed. In the last section, developments about

advancements in osmotically driven membrane systems are emphasized.

preparation technologies and membrane separation processes.

Written by leading experts in their respective areas, this volume is designed for students, chemists, and other professionals or readers interested in membrane
