Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Membrane technology has emerged as an essential solution to achieve the sustainable development goal of clean water. Promoting the sustainability of membrane-based water treatment is highlighted in the meantime. Remarkable progress in green membrane process, novel membrane material, membrane separation fundamentals, maximization of energy efficiency, liquid waste elimination, and resource recovery have been made in recent years.

This Special Issue on “Sustainable Membrane Technology for Water Treatment” seeks contributions to provide solutions for innovation of membrane process, design of membrane material, and engineering applications of membrane-based water treatment technology in a sustainable way. 

In this Special Issue, research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following topics: 

  • Green membrane process
  • Renewable energy powered water purification
  • Membrane desalination
  • Membrane module designs
  • Sustainable membrane materials
  • Membrane preparation
  • Modelling of membrane and membrane processes
  • Resource recovery
  • Zero liquid discharge
  • Mitigation of membrane fouling.

Authors are invited to submit their latest results; both original research articles and reviews are welcomed.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Photo-Fenton coupled with membrane (photo-Fenton-membrane) technology offers great potential benefits in future wastewater treatment because it can not only degrade refractory organics, but also separate different pollutants from water; additionally, it often has a membrane-self-cleaning ability. In this review, three key factors of photo-Fenton-membrane technology, photo-Fenton catalysts, membrane materials and reactor configuration, are presented. Fe-based photo-Fenton catalysts include zero-valent iron, iron oxides, Fe-metal oxides composites and Fe-based metal–organic frameworks. Non-Fe-based photo-Fenton catalysts are related to other metallic compounds and carbon-based materials. Polymeric and ceramic membranes used in photo-Fenton-membrane technology are discussed. Additionally, two kinds of reactor configurations, immobilized reactor and suspension reactor, are introduced. Moreover, we summarize the applications of photo-Fenton-membrane technology in wastewater, such as separation and degradation of pollutants, removal of Cr(VI) and disinfection. In the last section, the future prospects of photo-Fenton-membrane technology are discussed. Full article
