Introduction to Membrane Technology (Membranes for Water course)

This lecture provides an overview of membranes and their processes in water treatment applications. The purpose is to gain an understanding necessary for anyone wanting to get started into research or industry applications into membranes or refresh or extend their existing membrane knowledge.

 Characterisation of Porous Membranes

This lecture is an introduction to different techniques useful for characterisation of porous membranes. It does not cover all available techniques, but provides a first introduction to the subject, starting from the most simple techniques and gradually introducing others that are more complex. The physical principles behind each technique are presented in a rigorous but simple way. Data analysis is also discussed in order to help the viewer to handle experimental data and how to extract relevant information from it. From this lecture it is expected that the viewer acquires a generalized knowledge about the most appropriate technique to infer a particular characteristic of a porous membrane, the correct way to proceed experimentally and how to obtain relevant information about the membrane under study and its behavior/performance during operation.
