“…Membrane contactors are distinguished from classical membrane systems since the membrane does not play any role in the separation process. Instead, the membrane provides only the surface for two phases to contact and allows the transfer of desired species between the phases (Younas and Rezakazemi 2022). Dissolved methane recovery provides both environmental and economic benefits for AnMBR systems (Yang et al 2022;Becker et al 2017).…”

Today, the transition to renewable energy from conventional energy practices is more important than ever to establish energy security and mitigate climate change. The wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) consume a remarkable amount of energy and cause significant greenhouse gas emissions. The energy balance of WWTP can be improved by implementing energy-efficient applications such as anaerobic digestion. However, most of the existing WWTPs utilize only sewage sludge in conventional anaerobic digesters (CAD) which results in low biogas generation. Generally, co-digestion is indicated as an effective solution for the low biogas generation faced in mono-digestion. Moreover, recently, anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBR) have been promoted as a prominent alternative to CADs. This paper overviews the current situation of co-digestion applications by AnMBRs for municipal WWTPs. Furthermore, the environmental and economic aspects of these applications were reviewed. Lastly, challenges and future perspectives related to the co-digestion applications by AnMBR were thoroughly discussed. Graphical Abstract

Separation by membranes in chemical and allied industries has been of prime importance in the last few decades because of its low energy requirement and environment friendly process. In the last two decades, there has been significant development of this novel separation technology in academic research and industrial applications. Several new membranes such as new kinds of thin film composite membranes, nanocomposite membranes, metal–organic framework membranes, mixed matrix membranes, polyelectrolyte membranes, graphene and carbon nanotube‐based membranes, polymer inclusion membranes, and new kinds of liquid membranes have been developed for applications in reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, ultrafiltration, microfiltration, pervaporation, gas separation or facilitated transport with liquid membranes. Membranes based on functional polymers and composites of polymer and ceramic materials have shown significant improvement in flux, selectivity, or salt rejection. This article discusses elaborately on the basic principles of membrane separation, types of membranes/modules, synthesis, and characterization of new membrane materials with citation of recent works on this novel separation process.
