TL;DR: In the past 5 years, membrane ultrafiltration has gained increasing prominence as a simple and convenient process for concentrating, purifying, and fractionating solutions of moderate-to-high molecular weight solutes and colloids, and for purifying water and other solvents containing such solutes as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: In the past 5 years, membrane ultrafiltration has gained increasing prominence as a simple and convenient process for concentrating, purifying, and fractionating solutions of moderate-to-high molecular weight solutes and colloids, and for purifying water and other solvents containing such solutes. The emergence of this new molecular separation technique for both laboratory and industrial applications is almost entirely attributable to the development of a family of uniquely structured polymeric membranes which display extraordinarily high hydraulic permeabilities coupled with the capacity to retain even quite small solute molecules.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the recent developments in the area of mixed ionic-electronic conducting membranes for oxygen separation, in which the membrane material is made dense, that is, free of cracks and connected-through porosity, being susceptible only for oxygen ionic and electronic transport.
Abstract: Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the recent developments in the area of mixed ionic-electronic conducting membranes for oxygen separation, in which the membrane material is made dense—that is, free of cracks and connected-through porosity, being susceptible only for oxygen ionic and electronic transport. Emphasis is on the defect chemistry, mass transport, and the associated surface exchange kinetics. The basic elements of mixed ionic and electronic transport through dense ceramic membranes are focused. The chapter discusses mixed-conducting acceptor-doped perovskite and perovskite-related oxides and gives examples to illustrate the fundamental factors determining the oxygen fluxes through dense ceramic membranes. A key factor in the possible application of oxygen ion conducting ceramics is that, for use as solid electrolyte in fuel cells, batteries, oxygen pumps or sensors, their electronic transport number should be as low as possible. Stimulated by the search for candidate materials for electrodes in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) and oxygen separation membranes, researchers have explored the possibility of introducing electronic conductivity in oxygen-ion conducting fluorite-type matrices by doping with multi-valent dopants.

TL;DR: This chapter discusses the synthesis, characterization, and applications of palladium membranes, which are able to act as a selective barrier, which separates different species either by sieving or by controlling their relative rate of transport through itself.
Abstract: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the synthesis, characterization, and applications of palladium membranes. The main role of the membrane film is to control the exchange of materials between two adjacent fluid phases. A membrane is able to act as a selective barrier, which separates different species either by sieving or by controlling their relative rate of transport through itself. Transport processes across the membrane are the result of a driving force associated with a gradient of concentration, pressure, temperature, and electric potential. The synthesis of stable microporous or dense inorganic materials for the preparation of membranes is the key factor for increasing the application of membrane-based reactive separations in the catalysis field. An important step before using a membrane in a separation or a reaction system is its characterization in terms of permeation as well as morphology.

TL;DR: In this article, the first micro engineered membranes were manufactured in the Mesa Clean Room of the University of Twente and were made after four months of harsh micro machining labor, the membrane (two-inch diameter) is called a microsieve and has pores of five micron in diameter.
Abstract: Publisher Summary This section presents the viewpoint of the author of the publication “Nano and Micro Engineered Membrane Technology.” The first micro engineered membranes were manufactured in the Mesa Clean Room of the University of Twente and were made after four months of harsh micro machining labor. The membrane (two-inch diameter) is called a microsieve and has pores of five micron in diameter. The membranes can also be made in much less time, it is one of the simplest micro engineered products, in comparison to air bag sensors, flow sensors, and micro motors. New technology is only successful if at a given time others want to take over and want to do research or bring developed products to the market.
