“…The doping process of nanomaterial (zeolite, alumina, TiO 2 , etc.) into polymer ultra-filtration membranes show the formation of amplified membrane on surface of hydrophilicity and fouling resistance [118][119][120]. The antimicrobial material like silver metal particles are also doped with a polymer to produce polymeric membrane to prevent attachment of bacteria and inhibit biofilm production on surface of membrane [121,122].…”

Water is an essential part of life and its availability is important for all living creatures. On the other side, the world is suffering from a major problem of drinking water. There are several gases, microorganisms and other toxins (chemicals and heavy metals) added into water during rain, flowing water, etc. which is responsible for water pollution. This review article describes various applications of nanomaterial in removing different types of impurities from polluted water. There are various kinds of nanomaterials, which carried huge potential to treat polluted water (containing metal toxin substance, different organic and inorganic impurities) very effectively due to their unique properties like greater surface area, able to work at low concentration, etc. The nanostructured catalytic membranes, nanosorbents and nanophotocatalyst based approaches to remove pollutants from wastewater are eco-friendly and efficient, but they require more energy, more investment in order to purify the wastewater. There are many challenges and issues of wastewater treatment. Some precautions are also required to keep away from ecological and health issues. New modern equipment for wastewater treatment should be flexible, low cost and efficient for the commercialization purpose.

“…Electrospun nanofibers have attracted substantial attention in numerous applications such as filtration (Bassyouni et al, 2019), tissue engineering (Kouhi et al, 2019), wound dressing (Rezvani Ghomi et al, 2019), encapsulation for drug delivery operation (Ranjbar-Mohammadi et al, 2016), and self-healing (Neisiany et al, 2017), because of their facile and cost-efficient fabrication method and special features (Mohammadzadehmoghadam and Dong, 2019). Electrospinning offers versatile production of fibers with diameters in the order of 10 nanometers to several micrometers from a variety of raw materials (Kumar et al, 2019).…”

Among the different polymeric membranes, electrospun membranes have shown promising performance for filtration applications through the facile and controlled preparation method leading to tailored material structure. Furthermore, multilayered biobased electrospun membranes exhibited superior filtration performance, considering they are eco-friendly with superior mechanical properties and better adsorption efficiency compared to the single-layered electrospun membranes. The aim of this mini-review is to reveal the current state-of-art development of multilayered biobased electrospun membranes and to provide new insights into the future of tailored membranes toward practical applications.

“…Preparation of nanocomposite membranes is now the most commonly employed strategy to augment the standard polymeric membrane materials for water treatment processes [80]. The construction of 3-dimensional rapid water channel through the direct incorporation of inorganic nanomaterials in the PA active layer on the resultant thin film nanocomposite membrane (TFN) has shown promising capability of breaking the rejection-water flux trade-off phenomenon during the separation process.…”

Production of potable water or reclaimed water with higher quality are in demand to address water scarcity issues as well as to meet the expectation of stringent water quality standards. Forward osmosis (FO) provides a highly promising platform for energy-efficient membrane-based separation technology. This emerging technology has been recognized as a potential and cost-competitive alternative for many conventional wastewater treatment technologies. Motivated by its advantages over existing wastewater treatment technologies, the interest of applying FO technology for wastewater treatment has increased significantly in recent years. This article focuses on the recent developments and innovations in FO for wastewater treatment. An overview of the potential of FO in various wastewater treatment application will be first presented. The contemporary strategies used in membrane designs and fabrications as well as the efforts made to address membrane fouling are comprehensively reviewed. Finally, the challenges and future outlook of FO for wastewater treatment are highlighted.
