Foreword
The Fifth National Congress of the Society of Membrane Science and Technology was held in Mexico City on June 15, 16, and 17 of 2015. The best papers presented at that meeting have been peer-reviewed and are collected in this volume. This compilation covers a broad range of contemporary topics in the field of membrane science and technology ranging from materials and processes to simulations. Polymers and ceramics are the most widely used materials by the invited authors for the production of membrane systems to separate chemical species. Different commercial polymers, both modified and new synthetic polymers, have been tested in the manufacture of membranes, such as poly(ether amides), polyhydrotriazine, and polysulfones. Regarding ceramic membranes used by the authors include sulfated TiO2–ZnRO2 membranes, liquid membranes supported on alumina, and catalytic membranes based on mixed cerium and cobalt oxides. The contributions in the theoretical field begin with Dr. Joel Fried of the University of Louisville, whose work focuses on high-performance computer simulation of ion transport through nanochannels assembled bilayer membrane, for medical and engineering applications. Other theoretical works discuss pulsatile flow in reverse osmosis and filtrat
