“…The skin layer structure of the membranes modified with additives and nanosized particles have been improved regarding both permeability and rejection profile, mechanical strength, stiffness, antifouling characteristics of the host polymer, and especially selectivity towards certain compounds [43][44][45][46][47][48]. An increase in water permeability and rejection performance for most of the tested PhACs was achieved due to a higher pore formation efficiency, improved wettability, and a substantial increase in active surface area.…”

Drinking water sources are increasingly subject to various types of contamination due to anthropogenic factors and require proper treatment to remove disease-causing agents. Public drinking water systems use different treatment methods to provide safe and quality drinking water to populations. However, they are ineffective in removing contaminants that are considered a danger to the environment and therefore to humans. Several alternative treatment processes have been proposed, such as membrane filtration, as final purification methods. This paper aims to summarize the type of pollutant compounds, filtration processes, and membranes that have been most studied in this area with particular emphasis on how the modification of membranes, either the manufacturing process or the incorporation of nanomaterials, influences their performance.

“…Kuttiani et al [48], reported the removal of up to 99.9% of acetaminophen and 87% of ibuprofen from water through an ultrafiltration polyimide membrane embed-ded with reline-functionalized nanosilica. The membrane removes 84.9% and 76% more acetaminophen and ibuprofen than membranes without any nanoparticles.…”

“…This advanced technique presents a highly efficient water treatment method, demonstrating an adsorption capacity of 80% to 90% for a range of EDCs. 24–26 Through the application of this technique, the surface area of the membrane is notably increased, leading to a great enhancement in its capacity to adsorb EDCs. This augmented surface area allows for a greater contact between the membrane and the target contaminants, facilitating improved adsorption efficiency and overall performance in removing EDCs from water.…”

“…Deep eutectic solvent (DES) is a new type of hydrophilic environmental protection material, with low toxicity, easy preparation, low volatility, recyclability, and reusability. , Nonetheless, direct use of DES can reduce the service life of the membrane due to its high viscosity and wide solubility . Therefore, DES coating nanoparticles is a good method to avoid the leaching of DES and give full play to the synergistic effect of the two.…”
