Welcome to the first edition of our book Sustainable Separation Engineering. This is the brainchild of our academic and industrial research, as well as our university teachings on advanced separations and green engineering. You will find this two‐volume book both as an engaging and exciting reference guide on the latest materials, techniques, and processes related to sustainable separations and as a textbook that builds a solid theoretical foundation for sustainable separations. Our main objective is to present an overview of the fundamentals underlying the conventional and emerging separation processes, with an emphasis on sustainability. Gone are the days when separation engineering was the exclusive domain of chemical engineers. Modern sustainable separation engineering is highly interdisciplinary, with significant contributions ranging from chemical engineering to materials and polymer sciences to renewable energy sciences. Therefore, this book is intended for a broad audience to provide a bird's‐eye view of the interplay among these disciplinaries to design sustainable solutions. An up‐to‐date reference index is also provided for easy lookup of the most relevant literature for a more detailed description of each topic.
One of the aims of sustainability is to manufacture products in the most environmentally benign, economic, and socially beneficial way through the optimization of resource utilization and the conservation of materials, energy, and natural resources. The Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations crafted a blueprint through which a thriving and more sustainable future can be achieved for all. These goals target the global challenges we face, and most of them are directly or indirectly linked to material separations. During the manufacturing of products, separation steps are undesired yet unavoidable. Owing to the high energy demand and considerable waste produced during separation processes, there is a need to develop advanced materials and processes that minimize the associated environmental burden. Academic and industrial researchers are making great efforts to design greener processes and products. The authors of the 21 chapters in this book aimed to develop a holistic view of various types of separations covering microscale (chemistry, materials), mesoscale (unit operations), and macroscale (processes). Discussion is also extended to the role of sustainable separations in the chemical engineering curriculum.
This book gives a contemporary and inclusive account of the sustainability aspects of separation engineering. It will be a useful resource for students of separation engineering and experts alike, as well as prospective learners who wish to broaden their horizons and discover other topics related to their core discipline.

With the continuing growth of economic development and resource requirements by the expanding world population, separation processes continue to be critical and ubiquitously present in every aspect of human society [1, 2], and are effectively applied in areas ranging from chemical production to environmental remediation. The latter is especially important as it directly pertains to human livelihood, with the pressing issue of insufficient water availability affecting billions of people around the world [3]. Rising constraints on freshwater resulting from increasing water demand and decreasing water supply have been identified as a crucial challenge for the twenty‐first century, necessitating improvements in aspects such as water policy, as well as technologies for water use and treatment [4–6].
Electrochemically mediated processes have emerged as promising tools for water‐based separations due to their high potential for compact design [7, 8], low‐energy operations [9–11], and molecularly selective removal [12–14]. These attractive features are well‐suited to tackle challenges associated with the current state of separation science, which include the needs for improving the removal of species at dilute concentrations, and furthering understanding of interfacial phenomena [15]. The innate tunability of electrochemical frameworks renders them suitable for targeting desirable aqueous species in industrial purification processes, and a myriad of contaminants arising from other anthropogenic sources such as pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) [16], and agricultural and manufacturing activities. Judiciously designed electrochemically mediated systems can potentially take on a pivotal role in water purification trains as an individual treatment step, or even as a plug‐and‐play portable unit for remote use on‐site, providing a strong alternative in the future for efficient and high‐throughput new‐generation water‐phase separations. While cheaper and less energy‐intensive water purification technologies will undoubtedly assist in attenuating the impact of water scarcity, their development may also enable the extension of the aqueous phase for use as a medium to facilitate separations of other compounds like carbon dioxide.
This chapter will provide a brief introduction to some applicable electrochemical theory and a general overview of aqueous electrochemical separation methods, followed by a more detailed discussion of recent advances in the area of electrochemically mediated sustainable separations in water using heterogeneous redox‐active materials.
Separation processes are unit operations that distinguish materials based on their molecular, thermodynamic, or transport properties. A separation process can be conducted via addition of mass or energy separating agents, and can be operated under equilibrium or rate‐limiting conditions. To quantify the efficacy of a separation process, a variety of performance indicators can be used. One of the most important is analyte selectivity, which can be evaluated through the separation factor (Eq. 1.1) [17, 18]:
where SA/B is the separation factor of species A relative to B (or the selectivity for species A relative to B), CA is the concentration of species A, CB is the concentration of species B, CA_initial is the initial concentration of species A, and CB_initial is the initial concentration of species B. A separation factor of unity would indicate that the process has no selectivity for either of the two species. Other useful metrics for separation processes include efficiency, capacity, and throughput [15]. Common separation techniques found in chemical industries include distillation, crystallization, and adsorption, and are employed to perform tasks such as species purification and recovery, gas production, product drying, and contaminant removal [19, 20]. However, one of the greatest drawbacks of these processes is their high energy requirement, which has been estimated to make up as much as 15% of energy usage around the world [21, 22]. To address this, key areas for improvement have been highlighted within current separation technologies and frameworks, which include reducing energetic footprints, boosting key performance indicators (i.e. selectivity, capacity, and throughput), as well as targeted development in many water‐related applications such as uranium recovery from seawater and other trace contaminant removal from dilute streams [2, 15].
Electrochemical processes operate by means of electron transfer and a chemical change and can be expressed via the generic half‐cell equation for a redox reaction (Eq. 1.2): [23, 24]
where Ox is the oxidized species, n is the number of electrons, Red is the reduced species, kf is the rate constant of the forward reaction, and kb is the rate constant of the backward reaction. Applying thermodynamic relationships to Eq. 1.2 results in the derivation of the Nernst equation, which describes the properties of a redox half‐cell reaction at equilibrium (Eq. 1.3): [23, 24]
where E is the half‐cell potential of the redox reaction, E0′ is the formal potential of the redox reaction, R is the gas constant, T is the temperature, n is the number of electrons transferred, F is Faraday’s constant, CRed and COx are the concentrations of the reduced and oxidized species, respectively, at equilibrium [24]
