  2. Membrane Science and Engineering
  3. Process Intensification
  4. Integrated Membrane Processes
  5. Regenerative Medicine

Current research topics

  1. Membrane Science and Engineering
  2. Membranes in Artificial Organs
  3. Integrated Membrane Processes
  4. Membrane Preparation and Transport Phenomena in Membranes
    5. Membrane Distillation and Membrane Contactors
  5. Catalytic Membrane and Catalytic Membrane Reactors

Highlights

A particular interest is devoted today to the study and development of integrated membrane systems well consistent with the process intensification strategy. Most of the traditional unit operation of process engineering, can be designed as membrane units, from molecular separations to membrane reactors, and mass and energy transfer between different phases. Membrane Distillation, Membrane Crystallization and Membrane Condenser are a typical examples.
