Chapter 4 (Santucci, Tosti, Basile) is mainly focused on the development of membranes based on metals other than Pd, such as Ni, Nb, V and Ti, which are considered today promising substitutes for the Pd-alloys. Particular attention is given to the synthesis of these membranes as well as to the effect of alloying on their chemical-physical properties. The chapter also provides a description of two porous (ceramic and glass) membranes used as a support for the new metal alloys, in gas separation and in membrane reactors, respectively. The objective of Chapter 5 (Gugliuzza) is to document what is known about nanocomposite polymeric membranes and the procedures of fabrication. Their potentialities in catalytic membrane reactors, bioreactors and membrane operations for alternative power production are highlighted.
