“…Membrane distillation (MD) shows potential for water treatment, particularly in seawater desalination, as it can separate water from contaminants through vapor-phase transport using hydrophobic membranes [ 79 , 80 ]. MD operates at low temperatures, preserving water quality and energy efficiency, and exhibits high selectivity, making it suitable for various applications [ 81 , 82 ].…”

Effective treatment of oily wastewater, which is toxic and harmful and causes serious environmental pollution and health risks, has become an important research field. Membrane separation technology has emerged as a key area of investigation in oil–water separation research due to its high separation efficiency, low costs, and user-friendly operation. This review aims to report on the advances in the research of various types of separation membranes around emulsion permeance, separation efficiency, antifouling efficiency, and stimulus responsiveness. Meanwhile, the challenges encountered in oil–water separation membranes are examined, and potential research avenues are identified.

“…MD mainly exploits the vapor pressure difference caused by the temperature difference to separate nonvolatile solutes. Due to its operation at lower temperatures and pressures, MD has been proposed to recover and purify food bioactive compounds from the concentration of liquid food and extracts (Gontarek‐Castro & Castro‐Muñoz, 2023). PV integrates permeation and evaporation mechanisms, making it particularly suitable for the separation and recovery of aromas, fragrances, and essentials (Castro‐Muñoz et al., 2023).…”

Nowadays, the food industry is facing challenges due to the simultaneous rise in global warming, population, and food consumption. As the integration of synthetic biology and food science, novel synthetic foods have obtained high attention to address these issues. However, these novel foods may cause potential risks related to human health. Four types of novel synthetic foods, including plant‐based foods, cultured meat, fermented foods, and microalgae‐based foods, were reviewed in the study. The original food sources, consumer acceptance, advantages and disadvantages of these foods were discussed. Furthermore, potential risk factors, such as nutritional, biological, and chemical risk factors, associated with these foods were described and analyzed. Additionally, the current detection methods (e.g., enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay, biosensors, chromatography, polymerase chain reaction, isothermal amplification, and microfluidic technology) and processing technologies (e.g., microwave treatment, ohmic heating, steam explosion, high hydrostatic pressure, ultrasound, cold plasma, and supercritical carbon dioxide) were reviewed and discussed critically. Nonetheless, it is crucial to continue innovating and developing new detection and processing technologies to effectively evaluate these novel synthetic foods and ensure their safety. Finally, approaches to enhance the quality of these foods were briefly presented. It will provide insights into the development and management of novel synthetic foods for food industry.

“…In principle, a typical membrane process uses a permeable and selective physical layer (called a membrane) to separate specific compounds from the feed bulk solution. So far, membrane processes have been applied in various applications such as methane purification, CO 2 separation, water treatment and disinfection, the purification of solvents, seawater desalination, and food production processes, among many others [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ].…”

Today, chemistry and nanotechnology cover molecular separations in liquid and gas states by aiding in the design of new nano-sized materials. In this regard, the synthesis and application of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials are current fields of research in which structurally defined 2D materials are being used in membrane separation either in self-standing membranes or composites with polymer phases. For instance, pervaporation (PV), as a highly selective technology for liquid separation, benefits from using 2D materials to selectively transport water or other solvent molecules. Therefore, this review paper offers an interesting update in revising the ongoing progress of PV membranes using 2D materials in several applications, including solvent purification (the removal of water from organic systems), organics removal (the removal of organic molecules diluted in water systems), and desalination (selective water transport from seawater). In general, recent reports from the past 3 years have been discussed and analyzed. Attention has been devoted to the proposed strategies and fabrication of membranes for the inclusion of 2D materials into polymer phases. Finally, the future trends and current research gaps are declared for the scientists in the field.
