Membrane-based desalination has proved to be the best solution for solving the water shortage issues globally. Membranes are extremely beneficial in the effective recovery of clean water from contaminated water sources, however, the durability as well as the separation efficiency of the membranes are restricted by the type of membrane materials/additives used in the preparation processes. Nanocellulose is one of the most promising green materials for nanocomposite preparation due to its biodegradability, renewability, abundance, easy modification, and exceptional mechanical properties. This nanocellulose has been used in membrane development for desalination application in the recent past. The study discusses the application of membranes based on different nanocellulose forms such as cellulose nanocrystals, cellulose nanofibrils, and bacterial nanocellulose for water desalination applications such as nanofiltration, reverse osmosis, pervaporation, forward osmosis, and membrane distillation. From the analysis of studies, it was confirmed that the nanocellulose-based membranes are effective in the desalination application. The chemical modification of nanocellulose can definitely improve the surface affinity as well as the reactivity of membranes for the efficient separation of specific contaminants/ions.

“…In previous research, nanocellulose synthesis from banana peels was successfully carried out at a 1:3 ratio of banana peels to water; bacterial nutrition: Sucrose 10% (w/v), Ammonium Sulfate (NH4) 2 SO 2 1% (w/v), pH: 4, number of starters: 15% (w/v). The fermentation time is seven days [14]. For further optimization, the sugar levels (sucrose) will be varied; at 10% (w/v) lower and higher, the Nitrogen source will be changed replacing Ammonium Sulfate (NH4) 2 SO 4 with Urea which is more economical.…”

This research reports the optimization of the synthesis of bacterial nano cellulose (BNC) from banana peel waste media of Kepok bananas (Musa paradisiaca L.) using Gluconacetobacter xylinus bacteria in a fermentation process for use in water filter membrane applications. Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) synthesis was successfully accomplished under conditions of pH 4, 0.5% urea, and varying sucrose contents (5%, 10% and 15% (w/v)). The higher sucrose content causes the pH of the banana peel extract solution to decrease at the end of Day 8 and 10 due to the metabolic activity of bacteria, which produces acetic acid. A bacterial growth pH range of 3.93-4.26 was obtained. The Optical Density (OD) values tend to increase with respect to fermentation time due to the growth of BNC-forming bacteria. The higher the added sucrose content, the higher the total amount of the acid obtained as the G. Xylinus bacteria produces acetic acid in its metabolic processes. BNC thickness is directly proportional to the increase in sucrose level but does not increase proportionally with the increase in sucrose levels from 5%, 10% (two times), and 15% (three times). The sucrose level at 5% (w/v) produces most optimal results. Optimal incubation time was obtained on Day 6, which had the highest rate of increase in thickness in addition to the supporting pH, OD value and total acid factors. The TEM analysis shows that the BNC surface morphology tends to be the same among all sucrose level (5%, 10% and 15% (w/v)). The difference can only be seen in the density of the nanocellulose. The nanocellulor nanofiber produced from banana peels has diameter sizes between 30-50 nm which potentially be used in water filter membrane application.

Extensive research and development in the production of nanocellulose production, a green, bio-based, and renewable biomaterial has paved the way for the development of advanced functional materials for a multitude of applications. From a membrane technology perspective, the exceptional mechanical strength, high crystallinity, tunable surface chemistry, and anti-fouling behavior of nanocellulose, manifested from its structural and nanodimensional properties are particularly attractive. Thus, an opportunity has emerged to exploit these features to develop nanocellulose-based membranes for environmental applications. This review provides insights into the prospect of nanocellulose as a matrix or as an additive to enhance membrane performance in water filtration, environmental remediation, and the development of pollutant sensors and energy devices, focusing on the most recent progress from 2017 to 2022. A brief overview of the strategies to tailor the nanocellulose surface chemistry for the effective removal of specific pollutants and nanocellulose-based membrane fabrication approaches are also presented. The major challenges and future directions associated with the environmental applications of nanocellulose-based membranes are put into perspective, with primary emphasis on advanced multifunctional membranes.
