ABSTRACT

Membrane filtration is an important technology for ensuring the purity, safety and/or efficiency of the treatment of water or effluents. In this study, various types of membranes are reviewed, first. After that, the states of 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 as well as 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.
