“…Much research has reported that ceramic membrane has higher resistance toward fouling since it has a narrow pore size distribution, high porosity, and hydrophilicity (Choi et al, 2006; Madhura et al, 2018; Shah & Murthy, 2013). Even if fouling happens, the membrane can be easily recovered as it can resist harsh chemicals, thermal cleaning methods, and high‐velocity backwashing (Chen et al, 2017). However, the challenge is after frequent chemical cleaning to recover from fouling, the robustness of the membrane may decrease and be replaced (Chen et al, 2021).…”

Produced water (PW) has been generated in a huge amount representing the largest volume waste stream. Membrane technology has found a leading ability in treating PW due to its significant advantages, such as lower cost, easy installation, and being environmentally friendly. Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) have received significant research interest due to their flexibility, multifunctionality enhances the membrane performance with increasing selectivity, permeability, robustness, mechanical strength, and resistance to fouling. This mini-review paper identifies the utilization of different membranes for treating PW. It also gives a review of different types of MMMs with specific fillers for the application of PW treatment. Lastly, some methods to enhance the performance of mixed matrix membranes have been highlighted. The issues and challenges in membranes are also discussed. Practitioner Points• Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) are a potential membrane type for PW treatment.• This mini-review paper identifies the use of several membranes to treat PW.It also examined various types of MMMs containing specific fillers for the application of PW treatment.• Methods for improving the performance of mixed matrix membranes have been highlighted, including the use of novel materials, surface modification, and cross-linking.• The issues and challenges in membranes are also discussed.
