Membranes for Environmental Applications 2020

Dear Colleagues,

Membranes have important environmental applications ranging from water treatment to wastewater treatment and reuse, desalination, air filtration, etc. Various membrane-based processes have been involved, including reverse osmosis (RO), nanofiltration (NF), ultrafiltration (UF), microfiltration (MF), membrane bioreactor (MBR), membrane distillation (MD), forward osmosis (FO), membrane contactor, etc. These processes have been widely used for pollution control, resource recovery, and energy generation. They play a key role in the removal of pathogens, heavy metals, micropollutants, and other harmful contaminants. New membrane materials and structures have been developed to greatly enhance their permeability, selectivity, and stability in these applications.

This Special Issue on “Membranes for Environmental Applications 2020” of Membranes highlights the latest developments and future perspectives of various membrane-based environmental applications. Both reviews and original articles are welcome.
