“…Membrane technology is widely applied and has excellent filtration properties for the elimination of bacteria, adherent viruses, and adsorbed substances [114][115][116]. However, wastewater treatment by MBRs alone is not sufficient to achieve the stringent effluent quality standards [117].…”

Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) and microbial electrochemical systems (MESs) are promising technologies for wastewater treatment and generation of electricity from organic matter. The application of MBRs is limited due to membrane fouling and high energy consumption. The novel design of the coupling system of microbial fuel cell and membrane bioreactor (MFC-MBR), which efficiently combines microbial degradation in MFCs and uses the microelectric field to reduce and mitigate membrane fouling in MBR. The fundamentals of extracellular electron transport, the performance of MFCs, different types of MBR systems, and the novelty of the MFC-MBR coupling system for wastewater treatment are reviewed.

“…Such osmotic MBR is characterized by lower energy consumption, less severe membrane fouling, and high retention of soluble nutrients in suspended liquor compared to other bioreactors [ 104 ]. IEMs are used for the selective recovery of phosphoric acid anions and ammonium cations from MBR liquid digestate [ 105 , 106 ].…”

The review describes the place of membrane methods in solving the problem of the recovery and re-use of biogenic elements (nutrients), primarily trivalent nitrogen NIII and pentavalent phosphorus PV, to provide the sustainable development of mankind. Methods for the recovery of NH4+ − NH3 and phosphates from natural sources and waste products of humans and animals, as well as industrial streams, are classified. Particular attention is paid to the possibilities of using membrane processes for the transition to a circular economy in the field of nutrients. The possibilities of different methods, already developed or under development, are evaluated, primarily those that use ion-exchange membranes. Electromembrane methods take a special place including capacitive deionization and electrodialysis applied for recovery, separation, concentration, and reagent-free pH shift of solutions. This review is distinguished by the fact that it summarizes not only the successes, but also the “bottlenecks” of ion-exchange membrane-based processes. Modern views on the mechanisms of NH4+ − NH3 and phosphate transport in ion-exchange membranes in the presence and in the absence of an electric field are discussed. The innovations to enhance the performance of electromembrane separation processes for phosphate and ammonium recovery are considered.

“…Membrane technology plays a significant role in modern separation technology and energy applications [1][2][3][4][5]. Particularly in the application of functional membrane with special wettability in oil-water separation [6][7][8][9], fog collection [10,11], wastewater treatment [12,13], catalytic contactor [14,15], osmosis energy harvesting [16][17][18], aeration [19], and so on [20][21][22][23]. Janus membranes are a typical example, which exhibit asymmetric wettability, achieving manipulate liquid wetting and transport behavior by the aid of regulating the gas/liquid/solid multiphase interface [24,25].…”

Janus membranes with superwetting play an important role in many fields, such as oil/water separation, unidirectional fluid transportation, microfluidic devices, intelligent ion valve, mass/heat transfer applications, etc. Although there has been some progress in the preparation of the Janus membranes with unidirectional penetration, it still remains a great difficulty for facile fabrication of two dimensional Janus membranes with a large pore structure and stable bubble unidirectional transport in the water. Herein, a signal-layer Janus membrane with superwetting is fabricated via the method of liquid-regulated hydrophobic modification strategy. The resultant Janus mesh achieves underwater unidirectional penetration. Namely, Underwater bubbles can pass unidirectionally from superhydrophobic side to hydrophilic side, but are blocked from passing through in the opposite direction. Thus, this Janus membrane with the unidirectional underwater bubbles penetration “diode” performance. We believe this work can promote the development of multi-dimensional Janus materials for fluid directional transport.
