The two-volume work presents applications of integrated membrane operations in agro-food productions with significant focus on product quality, recovery of high added-value compounds, reduction of energy consumption and environmental impact. Volume 1. Dairy, Wine and Oil Processing. Volume 2. Wellness Ingredients and Juice Processing.

Advanced Technologies in Wastewater Treatment: Oily Wastewaters focus on characteristics and innovative treatment technologies of oily wastewater from various resources. The book discusses in detail primary and physical treatment methods, such as absorption and adsorption, as well as common techniques like coagulation and fluctuation. The applications of other advanced methods for oily wastewaters treatment, such as utilization of membranes and stripping gases, are thoroughly covered. Finally, novel technologies applied in purification of oily wastewaters-such as photocatalytic degradation and biological processes-are reviewed, and future outlooks and prospects are illustrated.

This comprehensive reference work describes in an instructive manner the combination of different membrane operations such as enzyme membrane reactors (EMR's), microfiltration (MF), ultrafiltration (UF), reverse osmosis (RO), nanofiltration (NF) and osmotic distillation (OD) is studied in order to identify their synergistic effects on the optimization of processes in agro-food productions (fruit juices, wines, milk and vegetable beverages) and wastewater treatments within the process intensification strategy. The introduction to integrated membrane operations is followed by applications in the several industries of the food sector, such as valorization of food processing streams, biocatalytic membrane reactors, and membrane emulsification.
