Membrane Fabrication by Solid Waste: Opportunities and Challenges

Abstract

IntroductionA significant population growth and development in industrialization has led to the concurrent expansion in many sectors including agricultural activities and daily consumption (Zhang et al, 2022). Numerous everyday activities and industrial operations create garbage, and the amount of waste generated rises proportionately to the demand for goods (Sebastian and Louis, 2021). As a result, the issues related to resource management and garbage disposal are rapidly increasing. In addition to posing serious environmental risks, poor disposal and handling can have a detrimental effect on human health (Mrozik www.resrecov.com HIGHLIGHTS ➢ This review discusses recycling solid waste into watertreatment membranes. ➢ Circular economy solid wastes can be utilized to make membranes. ➢ Suitable biopolymers, plastics, and inorganics waste for membranes is introduced. ➢ Membrane fabrication and performance with recycled materials are discussed. ➢ Future perspectives on waste-derived membranes are suggested.
