ABSTRACT
122 123Environmental engineering science is today witnessing one paradigmatic shift over another. Science, technology, and engineering science are taking giant steps in this century. Environmental engineering needs to be re-envisioned and reshaped to its utmost as human endeavor and scientific research pursuit enters into a new era of wide scientific regeneration.
The world of membrane science and chemical process engineering are in a similar manner undergoing drastic changes and surpassing visionary frontiers. Man’s vision, civilization’s prowess, and the march of science are emboldened with each step of human scientific endeavor. Membrane separation processes is moving toward a newer visionary era. Environmental sustainability is the need of the hour. The author with cogent insight and deep comprehension brings to the scientific forefront the scientific doctrine of membrane science particularly ultrafiltration (UF) and microfiltration (MF), its vast and versatile challenges, and the recent advances in scientific endeavor in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). Human scientific endeavor in today’s world is in the path of new scientific regeneration. The progress of science and technology and the world of scientific validation in the field of membrane science and novel separation processes need to be re-envisioned at each step of research pursuit. In this treatise, the author delves deeply into the intricate details in the vision and aim of UF and MF, its immense applications, the barriers of fouling, the vision of concentration polarization, and the world of process design in the area of membrane science. Diverse branches of science and engineering need to be re-envisioned with each step of new and visionary scientific awakening. Environmental engineering applications and chemical process engineering pursuits are covered in this chapter. Scientific vision and man’s versatile prowess are emboldened with each step of endeavor in novel separation processes such as membrane science. This detailed treatise opens up new windows of environmental engineering science in particular, in the years to come. The author pinpoints the wide world of wastewater treatment and the applications of membrane science with a wide review on groundwater remediation. Vision of science and engineering are rapidly changing. Global water shortage and membrane science in today’s world have an umbilical cord. The author with deep comprehension and cogent insight brings to the scientific forefront the technological vision of membrane science, especially UF and MF. The treatise also provides wide glimpses of groundwater remediation and the future of global water initiatives. Water and wastewater treatment is witnessing drastic challenges and immense barriers. Membrane science is the only 124answer. This treatise also brings to the reader the wide world of AOPs and the recent endeavor behind it.
