Biomimetic Membranes as an Emerging Water Filtration Technology

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Biomimetic Lipid Membranes: Fundamentals, Applications, and Commercialization

Abstract

Biomimetic membranes have high water permeability with high selectivity. Recent developments will increase their applications and variety in membrane technologies. This chapter focuses on the type and characteristics of water channels that can be used in these membranes. Also, strategies that can be used for fabrication of biomimetic membranes; lipid/polymer types and concentration that can be used in these membranes; and substrate types that are appropriate to use are summarized in details. The chapter is continued with applications of biomimetic membranes for the treatment of water and wastewater.
