A Mini-Review of Enhancing Ultrafiltration Membranes (UF) for Wastewater Treatment: Performance and Stability

The scarcity of freshwater resources in many regions the world has contributed to emergence various technologies for treating and recovering wastewater reuse industry, agriculture, households. Deep treatment from oils petroleum products is one difficult tasks that must be solved. Among known technologies, UF membranes have found wide industrial application with high efficiency removing pollutants wastewater. It shown search development highly efficient, durable, resistant oil pollution oily an urgent research task. key parameters improve performance are by enhancing wettability (hydrophilicity) antifouling behavior membranes. In this review, we highlight using ultrafiltration (UF) primarily treat Various methods polymer alterations membrane were studied hydrophilicity, ability membrane, rejection, including blending, surface modification, mixed matrix. influence type composition hydrophilic additives nanoparticles (e.g., Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), graphene oxide (GO), zinc (ZnO), titanium dioxide (TiO2), etc.) was investigated. review further provides insight into removal percent.
