Development of Novel Composite Membranes in Water/Wastewater Treatment

Abstract

Composite membranes have attracted significant attention due to their flexibility in having more than one layer, with many materials being used to form the membrane. This will enable the scientific and the industrial community to have produce tailored membranes for specific purposes. This flexibility in composite membrane synthesis has allowed them to be used in a wide scope of separation and beneficiation processes for both liquid and gaseous applications. Current commercial membranes such as those for nanofiltration and reverse osmosis are predominantly thin composite materials. This Special Issue titled "Development of Novel Composite Membranes in Water/Wastewater Treatment" in the journal Membranes aims to present the state-of-the-art contributions from authors producing novel composite membranes from synthesis to applications in water and wastewater treatment to assess recent developments in sustainable and environmentally friendly approaches.
