Recent Progress on Improving the Sustainability of Membrane Fabrication
author
Abstract:
Although the membrane process is recognized as a green technology and is considered as a key player in the process intensification movement, it is not widely known that the fabrication of membrane itself generates significant amount of waste. With the growing membrane market, more efforts must be placed on improving the sustainability of membrane fabrication such as replacing toxic organic solvents, minimizing mass intensity of fabrication process, and treating solvent-contaminated membrane wastewater. In this review, recent progresses on improving the sustainability of membrane fabrication have been discussed. In particular, recently-identified green solvents have been compiled, as well as novel methods to apply green solvents to fabricate high performance membranes. In addition, process intensification to minimize solvent waste, and to treat solvent-contaminated wastewater from membrane fabrication process, have been discussed.

I T IS WIDELY believed that the lipid bilayer of the erythrocyte membrane is supported by an elaborate infrastructure of protein molecules that give it viscoelastic properties. The proteins that provide this function are popularly referred to as the “membrane skeleton.” This membrane skeleton is considered to be distinct from the so-called “cytoskeleton,” a term used by cell biologists to descr...

Together with the supply of energy and the environmental protection, fresh water is one of the three keys elements for the sustainable development of every society. Where the availability of water cannot be carried out by using conventional sources, unavoidable appears the resort of the major water source: the sea. Today, RO is one the most used membrane processes for the production of fresh wa...
