ABSTRACT

Membrane filtration is an important technology for ensuring the purity, safety and/or efficiency of the treatment of water or effluents. In this chapter, various types of membranes are reviewed, first. After that, the states 100of the computational methods are applied to membranes processes. Many studies have focused on the best ways of using a particular membrane process. But, the design of new membrane systems requires a considerable amount of process development including robust methods. Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics methods can specially provide a lot of interesting information for the development of polymer/carbon nanotube membrane processes.
