“…In general, the fiber diameter of electrospun membranes has a direct relationship with the pore size. By decreasing the diameter of electrospun membranes, small pores are produced accordingly [73,74]. As recognized, fined pores in electrospun membranes are formed through layer-by-layer stacking of fibers to create an interconnected structure.…”

“…Photograph of water droplets on electrospun PVDF and its nanocomposite membrane surfaces Figure 7. Silver ion released from the PVDF-Ag and PVDFAg-GO nanocomposite systems immersed in deionized water for 28 days recently, Wang et al [73] reported that the water flux of electrospun polyacrylonitrile membranes increases with increasing porosity and fiber diameter. From Table 1 and Figure 8, it is evident that the water flux of membranes increases with the increase of porosity.…”

Since its inception in the 19 th century, microfiltration (MF) has evolved as a membrane-based separation technology for treating various effluents and wastewaters. This review aims to familiarize its readers with general and specific research trends on various topics in MF. The level of research interest has been measured by the number of publications in that area for each year. An increasing research trend was observed from the number of publications since 2009 to 2018 with MF as the major topic. During the past decade, MF articles have spanned in about 150 different journals, with The Journal of Membrane Science, Desalination and Separation and Purification Technology being the major ones. Major topics of interest include membrane fabrication and modification, waste water treatment and fouling studies, while a significant research increase was seen in various fabrication methods and MF application in the food sector. MF modeling still remains a topic which needs further research output, and has experienced a decline over the past years. Several potential research areas are also identified in this review which will help future researchers to materialize their efforts into the right direction.

“…These unique features are vital for their applications as separation membranes and adsorbents. There are reports on the applications of nanofibrous mats for microfiltration and ultrafiltration processes which showed better performances, such as a high water flux and high removal efficiency, than the conventional ones.…”

Nanofibers have unique functionalities based on their nanoscaled cross‐section, high specific surface area, and high molecular orientation inside the fibers. These functionalities can be improved by controlling their diameter, surface and internal structures. The introduction of ion‐exchange sites on the surface and/or inside the nanofibers provides novel high‐functional ion‐exchangers with high surface areas, high ion‐exchange and adsorption capacities, and high ionic conductivities. The present review highlights the fundamental aspects of ion‐exchange nanofibers (i.e. their size‐dependent unique properties and production methods) and their recent advances in the environment and energy applications (i.e. separation/purification processes and fuel cells). © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry
