“…In tertiary treatment for water reuse applications, RO membranes are commonly utilized due to their high potential to remove pathogens [67] . In laboratory systems, RO membranes have shown to achieve higher than 5-log removal values (LRV) of viruses [68] , [69] . Also, this kind of research has been performed in pilot-scale systems [70] , [71] .…”

“…(Alipour, S Baneshi MM et al 2016, Khan, Lal et al 2019. Desalination plants use thermal, membrane and ion exchange technologies for desalination, but the most common are thermal systems (MSF and MED) and reverse osmosis (RO) systems (Pazouki et al 2022). Depending on the salinity of the water, the type of power supply, the level of product quality and the size of the device, special priorities are given when choosing.…”

This case-control study was conducted to investigate the possibility of pollution caused by reverse osmosis desalination wastewater discharge into the coastal environment from spring 2019 to fall 2020. Five sites (wastewater receiving) and two sites (checkpoint) were selected in Bandar Abbas coast. Seawater, plant waste, and coastal sediments were sampled 63 times at checkpoints and cases. The physical, chemical, heavy metals and plankton were measured. The environmental pollution indices including pollution coefficient, pollution load, enrichment, toxicity potential were determined. The EC and heavy metal concentration (Pb, Cu, Ni, Cd, zinc and Fe) values in the checkpoint were significantly higher than the control stations. The plankton counts in the control stations was more than checkpoint. The pollution indices show low to moderate pollution levels of the banks of the desalination plant. Desalination plants have the potential to adversely affect coastal ecosystems; monitoring and management programs need to be implemented more extensively.

Membrane filtration is a major process used in the energy, gas separation, and water treatment sectors, yet the efficiency of current membranes is limited. Here, we review the use of machine learning to improve membrane efficiency, with emphasis on reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, pervaporation, removal of pollutants, pathogens and nutrients, gas separation of carbon dioxide, oxygen and hydrogen, fuel cells, biodiesel, and biogas purification. We found that the use of machine learning brings substantial improvements in performance and efficiency, leading to specialized membranes with remarkable potential for various applications. This integration offers versatile solutions crucial for addressing global challenges in sustainable development and advancing environmental goals. Membrane gas separation techniques improve carbon capture and purification of industrial gases, aiding in the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions.
