Abstract
Filtration and separation can represent as much as 80 % of the operating costs for many industries, and membrane separations are gaining acceptance as a cost-effective option in many production settings. Newer, more efficient membrane separation techniques can lead to more streamlined production and produce significant improvements in quality (http://www.mastcenter.org/default.htm). It is exciting to note the significant growth of membrane activities in the world, particularly in the area of desalination and municipal water purification. This interest is documented also by the industrial realization in reverse osmosis units, ultrafiltration and membrane bio-reactor. Also at fundamental research level, various new institutes are focusing their attention on the development of membrane research projects. This web alert overviews some important websites sharing knowledge on membrane science and technology.
