Scope:
The separation process is an important process widely used in industrial fields. The separation process that use membrane material will be expected to have high energy saving and high selectivity. For this reason, membrane separation processes are being extensively researched and developed in the environmental fields such as gas separation, fresh water production, waste water treatment and , and also in the fields of energy production and storage such as fuel cells, salinity gradient power generation, and flow-batteries.
On the other hand, so-called "artificial membranes" such as gas separation membranes, filter membranes, reverse osmosis membranes, dialysis membranes and ion exchange membranes have a history derived from studies that mimic some of the functions of biological membranes. Therefore, with aiming to create novel separation membranes with higher functinality than conventional artificial membranes, there have been may studies on bio-related membranes that have enhanced their functionality by imitating some of the functions of biological membranes or using materials close to biological ones. Based on the background, the aims of this symposium are to deepen the thinking on the separation membranes by gathering researchers studied on bio-related membranes, artificial membranes, and new separation processes using the membranes, and to establish a network between researchers.
Topics:
1.Bio-related membranes
2.Gas separation membranes
3.Water treatment membranes
4.Membranes for energy conversion and storage
5.Membrane separation processes
