- Dye is considered a carcinogenic matter. So, it is extremely important to treat the wastewater which contains the dye by detecting eco-friendly technologies to protect the environment from any negative impacts, the resources of natural water, and facing water shortage. The treatment of wastewater can be applied by using low-cost by-products from various sources such as domestic, industrial, and agricultural sectors. They enable the elimination of pollutants from wastewater and support the reduction, recovery, and reuse of waste. This study represents current membrane technologies for dye removal using the WAVE simulation software, provided by Dupont to study the performance, process parameters, and operating conditions. The WAVE simulation software explained also the benefits and drawbacks of various treatment methods. This research aims to investigate the physical properties and efficiency of the synthesized composite membranes and determine their feasibility for use in membrane filtration.

“…High thermal conductivity results in a low value of flux. The amount of flux can be increased by using the membranes of low thermal conductivity as suggested by Khayet et al [11][12][13][14][15] . The thermal conductivity range of many commercial membranes lies in between 0.04 to 0.07 Wm -1 K -1 .…”

Water scarcity is a major concern all over the world and efforts have been made to stop this crisis by making water drinkable. For water purification, different techniques have been used such as reverse osmosis (RO), ultra-filtration (UF), nano-filtration (NF), microfiltration (MF), multi-effect distillation (MED), multi-stage flash evaporation (MSF), mechanical vapour compression (MVC) and membrane distillation (MD). Among these techniques, MD is one of the most promising technologies that emerged in the last few decades. It is a temperature-driven separation process in which only water vapors can pass through the micro-porous hydrophobic membrane leaving behind the other undesired substances. The main factor in this process is the temperature gradient developed across the membrane. The hydrophobicity of the membrane restricts the mass transfer through the membrane. In this review, the membrane distillation technique has been discussed with all its properties and applications. The main focus was on membrane characteristics finding a way to develop a suitable membrane for water desalination. The battle to acquire 100 % salt rejection in membrane distillation is a continuing effort by researchers. This review article highlights certain point regarding the membrane distillation technology viz.; membrane distillation history, its characteristics, properties, types and applications.

“…Similarly, membrane-associated NMs are also an effective method for effluent removal. They benefit by improving the membrane permeability, mechanical and temperature strength, resistance, and various functioning for the degradation of pollutants [ 11 ]. Nano-catalysts are well known for their role in the enhancement of degradation reactions.…”

Water scarcity due to contamination of water resources with different inorganic and organic contaminants is one of the foremost global concerns. It is due to rapid industrialization, fast urbanization, and the low efficiency of traditional wastewater treatment strategies. Conventional water treatment strategies, including chemical precipitation, membrane filtration, coagulation, ion exchange, solvent extraction, adsorption, and photolysis, are based on adopting various nanomaterials (NMs) with a high surface area, including carbon NMs, polymers, metals-based, and metal oxides. However, significant bottlenecks are toxicity, cost, secondary contamination, size and space constraints, energy efficiency, prolonged time consumption, output efficiency, and scalability. On the contrary, green NMs fabricated using microorganisms emerge as cost-effective, eco-friendly, sustainable, safe, and efficient substitutes for these traditional strategies. This review summarizes the state-of-the-art microbial-assisted green NMs and strategies including microbial cells, magnetotactic bacteria (MTB), bio-augmentation and integrated bioreactors for removing an extensive range of water contaminants addressing the challenges associated with traditional strategies. Furthermore, a comparative analysis of the efficacies of microbe-assisted green NM-based water remediation strategy with the traditional practices in light of crucial factors like reusability, regeneration, removal efficiency, and adsorption capacity has been presented. The associated challenges, their alternate solutions, and the cutting-edge prospects of microbial-assisted green nanobiotechnology with the integration of advanced tools including internet-of-nano-things, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence have been discussed. This review opens a new window to assist future research dedicated to sustainable and green nanobiotechnology-based strategies for environmental remediation applications.
