ABSTRACT
The world of environmental engineering and water science are veritably moving from one visionary paradigm toward another. Environmental engineering science and chemical process engineering stand in the midst of scientific vision and deep comprehension. Human civilization’s immense scientific prowess, the scientific grit and determination, and the futuristic vision of chemical engineering will all lead a long and visionary way in the true emancipation of science and engineering globally. Novel separation processes in chemical process engineering include membrane separation processes. Nontraditional environmental engineering tools include advanced oxidation processes. In this chapter, the author deeply elucidates the scientific potential, the scientific success, and the immense scientific ingenuity in the field of application of novel separation processes in environmental engineering. Water purification, industrial wastewater 214treatment, and drinking water treatment are the utmost needs of human society today. Water science and water technology today are integrated with membrane science and desalination science. This chapter unfolds the scientific vision and the scientific stewardship of the world of membrane science in water purification domain. The challenges and the vision of membrane science will all lead a long and visionary way in the true realization of wastewater treatment and water science in decades to come.
