“…The processes involving membranes are classified according to the driving force used, such as pressure difference (e.g., reverse osmosis, nano and ultrafiltration), concentration difference (e.g., dialysis and gas separation), electrical potential difference (electrodialysis), and partial pressure difference (membrane distillation) [1]. Membrane technology shows several advantages: Simplicity in operation, high selectivity for specific chemical species, easy to modularize and scale-up, reduction of chemical pre-treatments in the feed solutions and low waste generation, and low energy consumption [2]. For these reasons, the use of membrane modules and membrane contactors has been broadly used in many industrial sectors, especially in the petrochemical industry for hydrogen recovery [3,4], for treatment of textile industry waste-water [5,6], in the production of many medicines and products in pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry [7,8], in food production sectors [9,10], in seawater and brackish water desalination [11,12], and many others [13].…”
