Gas separation membranes offer a number of benefits over otherseparation technologies, and they play an increasingly importantrole in reducing the environmental impacts and costs of manyindustrial processes.
This book describes recent and emerging results in membrane gasseparation, including highlights of nanoscience and technology,novel polymeric and inorganic membrane materials, new membraneapproaches to solve environmental problems e.g. greenhouse gases,aspects of membrane engineering, and recent achievements inindustrial gas separation. It includes:
* Hyperbranched polyimides, amorphous glassy polymers andperfluorinated copolymers
* Nanocomposite (mixed matrix) membranes
* Polymeric magnetic membranes
* Sequestration of CO2 to reduce global warming
* Industrial applications of gas separation
Developed from sessions of the most recent InternationalCongress on Membranes and Membrane Processes, Membrane GasSeparation gives a snapshot of the current situation, andpresents both fundamental results and applied achievements.

Benny D.Freeman - Kenneth A. Kobe and Paul D. and BettyRobertson Meek & American Petrofina Foundation CentennialProfessor of Chemical Engineering University of Texas at Austin,Center for Energy and Environmental Resources. He researches inpolymer science and engineering and, more specifically, in masstransport in polymers. His work in this field started in NorthCarolina State University, where he worked as assistant, associateprofessor and full professor during the period 1989-2002. In 2002he moved to Department of Chemical Engineering of the University ofTexas at Austin and currently directs 18 Ph.D. students and onepostdoctoral fellow performing fundamental research in masstransport in polymers. I have taught a variety of short courses inthe membranes area for societies such the ACS, the North AmericanMembrane Society, and the International Congress on Membranes. Ihave also taught a course on this topic at the graduate level atthe university. I have co-edited 4 books. Professor Freeman will bethe 2009 ACS Awardee in Polymer Science in 2009.
Yuri Yampolskii, Professor, Head of Laboratory ofmembrane gas separation, A.V.Topchiev Institute of PetrochemicalSynthesis, Moscow, Russia. Since the middle of 70s has been engagedin the studies of membrane separation, polymer physical chemistryand related subjects. At present he is Head of the laboratorydealing with the problems of membrane separation and pervaporation,gas permeation properties of various polymeric materials, vaporseparation processes, sorption thermodynamics, free volume inpolymers. He has published about 200 papers in peer reviewedjournals and authored or co-authored several books.
