Abstract

The nineties have brought us to an era of environmental crisis. We are faced with problems of air pollution, both indoor and outdoor, acid rain, water pollution, hazardous wastes, toxic landfills and leaking storage tanks in our soil, to name a few. Our rapid advances into the industrial and technological age have contributed to these problems. However, our advancing technology in the areas of remediation and such “green” engineering tools as ceramic membranes can certainly make a significant contribution in terms of environmental clean-up and a healthier world.
