“…Controlling membrane fouling and minimizing accumulation of foulants fall within four main strategies involving membrane modification, membrane cleaning, optimization of operating parameters and feed water pre‐treatment (Figure 2) (Zoubeik et al, 2018). Several studies related to oily wastewater have been reported and reviewed different fouling prevention strategies, for example, physical and chemical pre‐treatment options (Allen, 2008b; Fakhru'l‐Razi et al, 2009; Kharoua et al, 2010; Zheng et al, 2015), properties of oily wastewater related to membrane fouling (Alzahrani & Mohammad, 2014; Dickhout et al, 2017), effects of operating parameters on the membrane performance (Padaki et al, 2015; Reyhani & Mashhadi Meighani, 2016; Seyed Shahabadi & Reyhani, 2014), membrane cleaning techniques (Burnett & Vance, 2007; Drewes et al, 2008; Patil et al, 2021) and membrane materials and modification (Huang, Wang, et al, 2015; Padaki et al, 2015; Pagidi et al, 2014; Salahi, Mohammadi, Behbahani, & Hemati, 2015; Salahi, Mohammadi, Mosayebi Behbahani, & Hemmati, 2015; Zoubeik et al, 2018).…”

While oil sands production plays a significant role in Canada's economy, the rise in oil sands production leads to increasing water withdrawal, consumption, storage and contamination that threaten the sustainability of water sources, biodiversity, ecosystem and public health. Effective treatment and reuse of oil sands process‐affected water (OSPW) can be a strategic solution for these issues. Membrane technology has emerged as a favourite choice for OSPW treatment with high removal and energy efficiency, small footprint and facile operation, installation and scale‐up. However, challenges also exist for membrane technologies related to fouling that causes a rapid decline in membrane performance. Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) prepared by mixing superhydrophilic zwitterionic materials and inorganic nanoparticles into host membranes are anticipated as next‐generation membrane designs with significant potential for OSPW treatment by achieving multifunctionalities including fouling resistance, improved water permeability, selectivity and mechanical strength. Reproducibility and feasibility for large‐scale industrial applications remain important research questions for the production of MMMs for OSPW treatment. This study provides new insight on the performance, stability and durability of MMMs, outlooking to the commercialization prospect of MMMs. The research outcomes therefore can provide valuable knowledge for the design and development of high‐quality membranes with the required characteristics for OSPW treatment applications.
