“…The utilization of cellulose-based membrane processes holds the potential to prevent or even mitigate the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome and similar pathogens. [77,78] Persistent microorganisms earn their classification due to their enduring presence, toxicity, widespread distribution, and propensity for biological accumulation in ecosystems. These compounds have also been linked to various health concerns, including testicular cancer, kidney cancer, ulcerative colitis, thyroid cancer, thyroid disease, high cholesterol levels, and various carcinogenic effects on human immune function and cancer cells.…”

“…Furthermore, these membranes boast an expansive surface area, are recyclable, exhibit pH stability, and offer flexibility, permeability, hydrophilicity, and potentially robust mechanical properties. [ 77 ] Moreover, the size exclusion technique has yielded promising outcomes in retaining viruses within membranes derived from regenerated cellulose, mille‐feuille cellulose, and cladophora cellulose. Cellulose‐based membranes can also benefit from repellence mechanisms and electrostatic interactions.…”

Nowadays, membrane technology is an efficient process for separating compounds with minimal structural abrasion; however, the manufacture of membranes still has several drawbacks to being profitable and competitive commercially under an environmentally friendly approach. In this sense, this review focuses on bio-based polymeric membranes as an alternative to solve the environmental concern caused by the use of polymeric materials of fossil origin. The fabrication of bio-based polymeric membranes is explained through a general description of elements such as the selection of bio-based polymers, the preparation methods, the usefulness of additives, the search for green solvents, and the characterization of the membranes. The advantages and disadvantages of bio-based polymeric membranes are discussed, and the application of bio-based membranes to recover organic and inorganic contaminants is also discussed.
