Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the development, characterization, and application of membranes for various separation and purification processes. Research includes the design of novel membrane materials, investigation of membrane performance in terms of permeability, selectivity, and fouling resistance, and the application of membrane technologies in areas such as water treatment, gas separation, and energy production. Studies also explore methods for membrane cleaning, anti-fouling strategies, and the integration of membranes with other technologies.
