Abstract
Water pollution poses significant threats to both ecosystems and human health. Mitigating this issue requires effective treatment of domestic wastewater to convert waste into bio-fertilizers and gas. Neglecting liquid waste treatment carries severe consequences for health and the environment. This review focuses on intelligent technologies for water and wastewater treatment, targeting waterborne diseases. It covers pollution prevention and purification methods, including hydrotherapy, membrane filtration, mechanical filters, reverse osmosis, ion exchange, and copper-zinc cleaning. The article also highlights domestic purification, field techniques, heavy metal removal, and emerging technologies like nanochips, graphene, nanofiltration, atmospheric water generation, and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs)-based cleaning. Emphasizing water cleaning's significance for ecosystem protection and human health, the review discusses pollution challenges and explores the integration of wastewater treatment, coagulant processes, and nanoparticle utilization in management. It advocates collaborative efforts and innovative research for freshwater preservation and pollution mitigation. Innovative biological systems, combined with filtration, disinfection, and membranes, can elevate recovery rates by up to 90%, surpassing individual primary (<10%) or biological methods (≤50%). Advanced treatment methods can achieve up to 95% water recovery, exceeding UN goals for clean water and sanitation (Goal 6). This progress aligns with climate action objectives and safeguards vital water-rich habitats (Goal 13). The future holds promise with advanced purification techniques enhancing water quality and availability, underscoring the need for responsible water conservation and management for a sustainable future.

Abstract
Although separation of solutes from organic solutions is considered a challenging process, it is inevitable in various chemical, petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries. OSN membranes are the heart of OSN technology that are widely utilized to separate various solutes and contaminants from organic solvents, which is now considered an emerging field. Hence, numerous studies have been attracted to this field to manufacture novel membranes with outstanding properties. Thin-film composite (TFC) and nanocomposite (TFN) membranes are two different classes of membranes that have been recently utilized for this purpose. TFC and TFN membranes are made up of similar layers, and the difference is the use of various nanoparticles in TFN membranes, which are classified into two types of porous and nonporous ones, for enhancing the permeate flux. This study aims to review recent advances in TFC and TFN membranes fabricated for organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) applications. Here, we will first study the materials used to fabricate the support layer, not only the membranes which are not stable in organic solvents and require to be cross-linked, but also those which are inherently stable in harsh media and do not need any cross-linking step, and all of their advantages and disadvantages. Then, we will study the effects of fabricating different interlayers on the performance of the membranes, and the mechanisms of introducing an interlayer in the regulation of the PA structure. At the final step, we will study the type of monomers utilized for the fabrication of the active layer, the effect of surfactants in reducing the tension between the monomers and the membrane surface, and the type of nanoparticles used in the active layer of TFN membranes and their effects in enhancing the membrane separation performance.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 223:115404.

Abstract
In this current study, poly (methyl vinyl ether maleic anhydride) (PMVEAMA), a sustainable additive, was incorporated into poly (ether-ether sulfone) (PEES) polymer to design a novel polymeric hybrid membrane for the efficient filtration of toxic pentachlorophenol (PCP) from an aqueous medium. Hydrophilic additives significantly altered the membrane's morphology, structure, porosity, water content, and flux performance compared to the bare PEES membrane. The influence of PMVEAMA on the structural modification of the synthesized polymer membrane was confirmed by SEM, ATR-FTIR, XRD, AFM, zeta potential and contact angle. Findings revealed that the addition of PMVEAMA to the PEES polymer enhances the porosity (17.7%-28.9%), water content (29.8%-39.8%), and pure water flux (186 Lm-2h-1 to 349 Lm-2h-1). The effect of PMVEAMA concentration on the PEES membrane exhibited more finger like pores, better porosity and hydrophilicity, reduced surface roughness, fouling and increased permeability. The fouling studies exhibit an improved 57% PCP rejection and permeation flux of 22.3 Lm-2h-1 due to the addition of the hydrophilic additive. Surprisingly, the incorporation of PMVEAMA into the bare PEES membrane resulted in a high flux recovery ratio of 73.7%. The antifouling properties and enhanced permeability of the PEES/PMVEAMA membrane indicates its potential application in water purification sectors for the efficient separation of contaminants.

Abstract
Industrial wastewater contains heavy metals, colors, dyes, cyanides, and natural manufactured compounds are expanding around the world. It prompts extreme water shortage just as water quality issues. With enhancing worldwide interest for clean and reestablish water for human utilization. Wastewater treatment with membrane innovation is arising as a main cycle to address the issues. In this current work, we have found the expulsion of dangerous metal particles utilizing a nano-ZnO (0.5 wt%) incorporated poly (ether ether sulfone) (PEES) nanofiltration membrane. The created membranes were reviewed by ATR-FTIR, AFM, SEM investigations, XRD, contact angle estimation, mechanical properties, pure water flux, porosity and molecular weight cut-off, arsenic, fluoride, and nitrate rejection studies were illustrated. Because of the hydrophilic nature of ZnO, the resultant membranes had better hydrophilicity than PEES membranes based on porosity, water content, surface chemistry, membrane morphology, and contact angle data. The Nano-ZnO incorporated membrane demonstrated a superior quality execution contrasted with neat PEES membrane. We discovered that the rejection of As(III) and As (V) were > 85% and > 98% separately, and an expanded permeability of 559.28 ± 2 Lm-2 h-1 and 297.95 ± 2 Lm-2 h-1 individually was seen at pH 10. Fluoride and nitrate particles additionally indicated the most extreme expulsion efficiencies were > 89% and > 75% separately. The prepared membrane samples were incubated in water (40 °C) and sodium hypochlorite solution (active chlorine concentration 400 mg/L) for up to 10 days to determine the stability of polymer membrane matrix. The general outcomes inferred that the nano-ZnO incorporated PEES membrane gave remarkable result to eliminate dangerous metal ions with moderate permeability.

Abstract
With regard to global concerns, such as water scarcity and aquatic pollution from industries and domestic activities, membrane-based filtration for wastewater treatment has shown promising results in terms of water purification. Filtration by polymeric membranes is highly efficient in separating contaminants; however, such membranes have limited applications. Nanocomposite membranes, which are formed by adding nanofillers to polymeric membrane matrices, can enhance the filtration process. Considerable attention has been given to nanofillers, which include carbon-based nanoparticles and metal/metal oxide nanoparticles. In this review, we first examined the current status of membrane technologies for water filtration, polymeric nanocomposite membranes, and their applications. Additionally, we highlight the challenges faced in water treatment in developing countries.

Abstract
Membrane fouling is one of the challenging bottleneck problems in waste water treatment by membrane process. The present study constructed a nanofiltration membrane based on the zinc oxide nanoparticle (n-ZnO) integrated Poly(ether ether sulfone) (PEES) membranes. The developed membranes were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), attenuated total reflectance - fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (AT-FTIR), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. Pure water flux, contact angle, molecular weight cut-off, mean pore size and porosity were determined to investigate the influence of n-ZnO on the properties of the membranes. The characterization showed asymmetric configuration of membranes after n-ZnO incorporation. This incorporation also enhanced the hydrophilicity of PEES membrane. The fouling-resistant potential of the membranes was investigated by the model foulant humic acid (HA) and an enhanced anti-fouling irreversible property with a corresponding flux recovery rate of 92.43 % was noted for the prepared membrane. The rejection performance and permeability of HA was 98.03 % and 166.73 L m-2 h-1, respectively, owing to the hydrophilic nature of ZnO particles. Further, modified PEES membrane exhibited superior separation performance for monovalent and divalent anions. PEES/n-ZnO hybrid membrane assisted nanofiltration is an effective process for the improvement of membrane performance and anti-fouling property, demonstrating its immense use in water reclamation.

Abstract
Consumers are becoming more conscious about the need to include functional and nutritional foods in their diet. This has increased the demand for food extracts rich in proteins and peptides with physiological effects that are used within the food and pharmaceutical industries. Among these protein extracts, soy protein and its derivatives are highlighted. Isolated soy protein (ISP) presents a protein content of at least 90%. Wastewaters generated during the production process contain small proteins (8–50 kDa), and it would be desirable to find a recovery treatment for these compounds. Ultrafiltration membranes (UF) are used for the fractionation and concentration of protein solutions. By the appropriate selection of the membrane pore size, larger soy proteins are retained and concentrated while carbohydrates and minerals are mostly recovered in the permeate. The accumulation and concentration of macromolecules in the proximity of the membrane surface generates one of the most important limitations inherent to the membrane technologies. In this work, three UF membranes based on polyethersulfone (PES) were fabricated. In two of them, polyethylene glycol (PEG) was added in their formulation to be used as a fouling prevention. The membrane fouling was evaluated by the study of flux decline models based on Hermia’s mechanisms.

Abstract
Due to the flexibility of operation, high removal ability, and economic cost, separation membranes have proved to be one of the most significant technologies in various aspects including water treatment. However, membrane fouling is a predominant barrier which is severely limiting the whole membrane industry. To mitigate membrane fouling, researchers have carried out several modification strategies including the incorporation of hydrophilic inorganic components. Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles, known as a low-cost, environment-friendly, and hydrophilic inorganic material, have been used by worldwide researchers. As claimed by the scientific literatures, ZnO nanoparticles can not only endow the polymeric membranes with antifouling performance but also supply a photocatalytic self-cleaning ability. Therefore, polymer-ZnO composite membranes were considered to be an attractive hot topic in membrane technology. In the last decades, it has been significantly matured by a large mass of literature reports. The current review highlights the latest findings in polymeric membranes incorporated with ZnO nanoparticles for membrane fouling mitigation. The membrane fouling, ZnO nanoparticles, and modification technology were introduced in the first three sections. Particularly, the review makes a summary of the reports of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-ZnO composite membranes, polyethersulfone (PES)-ZnO composite membranes, and other composite membranes incorporated with ZnO nanoparticles. This review further points out several crucial topics for the future development of polymer-ZnO composite membranes.

Abstract
Hydrophobic polysulphone (PSf) was reformed into a hydrophilic polymer by sulphonation (via electrophilic substitution) and was subsequently made into a composite by incorporating nano titania to reduce Cr (VI) in the concentrated feed to Cr (III), thus eliminating the hazards of Cr (VI). The modified polymer and its composites were characterized by spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. The composite membranes exhibited enhanced hydrophilicity and flux and were evaluated for the rejection of chromium. The effect of pH and interference of counter ions towards rejection was studied. The charges fixed on the surface of the membrane due to titania, support ionic interactions and facilitated the rejection process. Essentially, rejection of up to 98% was achieved. The innovation of using a bifunctional membrane for the rejection of Cr (VI) together with the removal of its toxicity by photocatalytic reduction, leading to the potential recovery of Cr (III), highlight the uniqueness of this work.
