Abstract
Membrane technology utilizing ultrafiltration (UF) processes has emerged as the most widely used and cost-effective simple process in many industrial applications. The industries like textiles and petroleum refining are promptly required membrane based UF processes to alleviate the potential environmental threat caused by the generation of various wastewater. At the same time, major limitations such as material selection as well as fouling behavior challenge the overall performance of UF membranes, particularly in wastewater treatment. Therefore, a complete discussion on material design with structural property relation and separation performance of UF membranes is always exciting. This state-of-the-art review has exclusively focused on the development of UF membranes, the material design, properties, progress in separation processes, and critical challenges. So far, most of the review articles have examined the UF membrane processes through a selected track of paving typical materials and their limited applications. In contrast, in this review, we have exclusively aimed at comprehensive research from material selection and fabrication methods to all the possible applications of UF membranes, giving more attention and theoretical understanding to the complete development of high-performance UF systems. We have discussed the methodical engineering behind the development of UF membranes regardless of their materials and fabrication mechanisms. Identifying the utility of UF membrane systems in various applications, as well as their mode of separation processes, has been well discussed. Overall, the current review conveys the knowledge of the present-day significance of UF membranes together with their future prospective opportunities whilst overcoming known difficulties in many potential applications.

Abstract
Oily wastewater has become one of the leading causes of environmental pollution. A massive quantity of oily wastewater is released from industries, oil spills, and routine activities, endangering the ecosystem's sustainability. Due to the enormous negative impact, researchers put strenuous efforts into developing a sustainable solution to treat oily wastewater. Microfiltration/ultrafiltration membranes are considered an efficient solution to treat oily wastewater due to their low cost, small footprint, facile operation, and high separation efficiencies. However, membranes severely fouled during the separation process due to oil's adsorption and cake layer formation, which shortens the membranes' life. This review has critically discussed the microfiltration/ultrafiltration membrane synthesizing methods and their emulsion's separation performance. In the end, key challenges and their possible solutions are highlighted to provide future direction to synthesize next-generation membranes.

Abstract
Abstract
In this work, zwitterionic polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based membranes were synthesized via surface grafting strategy for improving the antifouling properties. The copolymer membrane consisting of PAN and poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) segments, was cast via nonsolvent induced phase separation, and then treated with acryloyl chloride to tether with carbon-carbon double bonds. Zwitterionic poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) (PSBMA) layers were grafted onto membrane surface via concerted reactions of radical grafting copolymerization and quaternization with 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) and 1, 3-propanesultone (1, 3-PS) as the monomers. The grafting degree (GD) of PSBMA layers increases with the incremental content of monomers, leading to the enhancement in membranes surface hydrophilicity. The permeation experiments show that the flux of the zwitterionic membrane increases and then decreases with the increasing GD value, because of the surface coverage of PSBMA layers. The zwitterionic membrane has excellent separation efficiency for oil-in-water emulsion, with the rejection of a higher value than 99%. The irreversible membrane fouling caused by oil adsorption has been suppressed, as proved by the cycle-filtration tests. These outcomes confirm that oil-fouling resistances of membranes are improved obviously by the surface grafting of zwitterionic PSBMA layers.
