Biocatalytic membrane reactors: applications and perspectives.
Membranes and biotechnological tools can be used for improving traditional production systems to maintain the sustainable growth of society. Typical examples include: new and improved foodstuffs, in which the desired nutrients are not lost during thermal treatment; novel pharmaceutical products with well-defined enantiomeric compositions; and the treatment of waste-water, wherein pollution by traditional processes is a problem.
