To reduce the pollution level of the environment, various technologi­ cal processes can be applied, principally separation techniques. The literature provide several strategies promoting the application of sepa­ ration techniques in the protection and development of the environment (Aim and Vladan, 1989; Drioli, 1992; Drioli and Molinari, 1995; Fane, 1994):
