CHOICE 2

This course will cover the main conventional membrane technologies in liquid and gas media. Concerning the liquid medium, baromembrane technologies such as microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis will be mainly described, but also those based on electrochemical potential gradients (electrodeionization) or temperature (membrane distillation). In addition, gas permeation and pervaporation for the separation of gases and/or vapors will also be presented. For all the technologies, the question of the choice of the adapted membrane materials will be addressed and representative examples of appropriate fields of use (in connection with the current environmental and energy problems) will be given.

This course will focus on the energy context and methods of energy conversion and storage, the historical development of electrochemical energy conversion and storage technologies and modern applications, and electrochemical mechanisms. Finally, links will be made between modern energy conversion and storage technologies and current societal issues.
