“…Interestingly, this method can also be operated under gravity filtration, hence reducing the need for additional operating costs for pressurised systems [53] . In 2019, the study of hybrid ultraviolet C/ microfiltration (UV-C/MF) membrane for the removal of E. coli , Enterococcus faecalis and Candida albican was conducted by a group of researchers from Spain [54] . When operating at low TMP 0.5 bar and low contact time (8s), the hybrid membrane could achieve LRV of 4 for E. coli, thus proving a synergy and better intensification process.…”

Consumption of pathogenic contaminated water has claimed the lives of many people. Hence, this scenario has emphasized the urgent need for research methods to avoid, treat and eliminate harmful pathogens in wastewater. Therefore, effective water treatment has become a matter of utmost importance. Membrane technology offers purer, cleaner, and pathogen-free water through the water separation method via a permeable membrane. Advanced membrane technology such as nanocomposite membrane, membrane distillation, membrane bioreactor, and photocatalytic membrane reactor can offer synergistic effects in removing pathogen through the integration of additional functionality and filtration in a single chamber. This paper also comprehensively discussed the application, challenges, and future perspective of the advanced membrane technology as a promising alternative in battling pathogenic microbial contaminants, which will also be beneficial and valuable in managing pandemics in the future as well as protecting human health and the environment. In addition, the potential of membrane technology in battling the ongoing global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was also discussed briefly.

“… [ 50 ] Hybrid UV-C/Microfiltration Escherichia coli , Enterococcus faecalis , Candida albicans Urban wastewater A hybrid UV-C/microfiltration system generated a synergistic effect between UV-C and filtration, which led to the death of 96–98 % of the eliminated microorganisms. [ 81 ] Ultrafiltration with UV pretreatment Legionella spp., Legionella pneumophila , Mycobacterium spp., Acanthameoba spp. Secondary water supply The pathogens in the water remained unidentified after UV-UF treatment, and the quantitative gene evaluation showed that UV pretreatment decreased the number of microbial genes linked to infectious and metabolic illnesses.…”

“…In addition, hybrid membranes with novel AOPs have occurred with favorable development potential. For example, the photocatalytic MBR is considered to be a promising method for organic matter removal from municipal wastewater [235], additionally, a hybrid UV-C + MF process in Membrane Photoreactor has resulted in high removal efficacy for various pathogen germs with contact times as low as 8 s [236].…”

Wastewater reuse as a sustainable, reliable and energy recovery concept is a promising approach to alleviate worldwide water scarcity. However, the water reuse market needs to be developed with long-term efforts because only less than 4% of the total wastewater worldwide has been treated for water reuse at present. In addition, the reclaimed water should fulfill the criteria of health safety, appearance, environmental acceptance and economic feasibility based on their local water reuse guidelines. Moreover, municipal wastewater as an alternative water resource for non-potable or potable reuse, has been widely treated by various membrane-based treatment processes for reuse applications. By collecting lab-scale and pilot-scale reuse cases as much as possible, this review aims to provide a comprehensive summary of the membrane-based treatment processes, mainly focused on the hydraulic filtration performance, contaminants removal capacity, reuse purpose, fouling resistance potential, resource recovery and energy consumption. The advances and limitations of different membrane-based processes alone or coupled with other possible processes such as disinfection processes and advanced oxidation processes, are also highlighted. Challenges still facing membrane-based technologies for water reuse applications, including institutional barriers, financial allocation and public perception, are stated as areas in need of further research and development.
