This volume is the result of a symposium honoring Drs. Sidney Loeb and S. Sourirajan on the 20th anniversary of their discovery of the first functionally useful reverse osmosis membrane. Both of these esteemed gentlemen participated as plenary speakers and described not only how their membrane originated but also reviewed membrane theory and put the membrane field into present and future perspective. 

Following are some details about the preparation of permselective inorganic membranes and future perspectives. The book by Bahve [13] is recommended for deeper insight into these topics.

Finally, the current status of the inorganic membrane technology is summarized for an overall perspective. The future is speculated based on that perspective to provide a framework for future developments in the synthesis, fabrication and assembly of inorganic membranes and their uses for traditional liquid-phase separation, high-temperature gas separation and membrane reactor applications. 

The last section (19.6) is focused on the commercial potential and perspectives of using metal ammines in connection with, for example, polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) as well as selective catalytic reduction (SCR)-DeNO c (NO c removal) in the transport sector, and it includes comments on the global availability and low cost of the carrier salts. This section also provides the authors perspectives on future trends and challenges in metal ammine research, along with links to the interested reader for further information on key articles, companies and websites. 

In this major section the fundamentals and the main problems of these pressure-driven membrane processes will be summarized. A short overview will then be given of the membrane preparation methods and the most common materials used. Their application in organic media will then be reviewed in more detail, followed by comments on the current commercial membrane market and some perspectives for the future. 

This chapter reviewed the main results from the literature on HFM technology and membrane-based extraction and offers a perspective on the success of this research and its impact on membrane separations. Considerable progress has been made in a number of key areas, with some important and unanticipated developments. This type of technology assessment can play an important role in setting the directions for future research and development, both for individual scientists and engineers and for the broader membrane community. 

ETFE-foils as a fluorine-polymer material differ fundamentally from textile membrane materials in terms of their thermal-mechanical as well as building-physics behaviour. This chapter first introduces the construction forms and variants of ETFE-foil structures and provides an overview of the development of ETFE-foil constructions from an architectural perspective. Subsequently, the morphological structure of ETFE and the manufacturing process as well as the material behaviour and load-bearing characteristics of ETFE-foils are outlined. The final section discusses future development potentials and the future use of ETFE-foil constructions in structural engineering.
