“…One of the ideas to overcome this challenge is the incorporation of hydrophilic additives into the polymeric matrix to enhance the performance and improve antifouling properties . Different types of additives have been reported in literature for preparation of nanocomposite membranes including metals, metal oxides, zeolites, carbon nanotubes, organic material, biomaterial, and hybrid materials . Moghimifar et al investigated the performance of nanocomposite membrane containing NaX zeolite nanoparticles for oil/water separation.…”

In the present work, development of neat and nanocomposite polyethersulfone membranes composed of TiO 2 nanoparticles is presented. Membranes are fabricated using nonsolvent phase inversion process with the objective of improving antifouling, hydrophilicity, and mechanical properties for real and synthetic produced water treatment. Membranes are characterized using scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared, contact angle, porosity measurement, compaction factor, nanoparticles stability, and mechanical strength. The performance of prepared membranes was also characterized using flux measurement and oil rejection. Fouriertransform infrared spectra indicated that noncovalence bond formed between Ti and polyethersulfone chains. The contact angle results confirmed the improved hydrophilicity of nanocomposite membranes upon addition of TiO 2 nanoparticles owing to the strong interactions between fillers and water molecules. The increased water flux for nanocomposite membranes in comparison with neat ones can be due to coupling effects of improved surface hydrophilicity, higher porosity, and formation of macrovoids in the membrane structure. The membrane containing 7 wt% of TiO 2 nanoparticles was the best nanocomposite membrane because of its high oil rejection, water flux, antifouling properties, and mechanical stability. The pure water flux for this membrane was twice greater than that of neat membrane without any loss in oil rejection. The hydrophilicity and antifouling resistance against oil nominates developed nanocomposite membranes for real and synthetic produced water treatment applications with high performance and extended life span.

Membrane science and technology is growing rapidly worldwide and continues to play an increasingly important role in diverse fields by offering high separation efficiency with low energy consumption. Membranes have also shown great promise for "green" separation. A majority of the investigations in the field are devoted to the membrane fabrication and modification with the ultimate goals of enhancing the properties and separation performance of membranes. However, less attention has been paid to membrane life cycle management, particularly at the end of service. This is becoming very important, especially taking into account the trends toward sustainable development and carbon neutrality. On the contrary, this can be a great opportunity considering the large variety of membrane processes, especially in terms of the size and capacity of plants in operation. This work aims to highlight the prominent aspects that govern membrane life cycle management with special attention to life cycle assessment (LCA). While fabrication, application, and recycling are the three key aspects of LCA, we focus here on membrane (module) recycling at the end of life by elucidating the relevant aspects, potential criteria, and strategies that effectively contribute to the achievement of green development and sustainability goals.

Advanced materials are among the prime drivers for technological revolutions and transformation in quality of lives. Over time, several modification techniques have emerged enabling development of novel materials with extraordinary features. The present review aims to introduce various promising chemical and physical surface modification techniques instrumental for tailoring the characteristics of thin films and membranes. Meticulous discussions are provided over chemical vapor deposition (CVD) techniques evolved for addressing the demands for materials with desired functionalities. Also, essential criteria for the selection of substrates, modifying and precursor materials for an effective CVD modification are elaborated. Investigations are extended to unraveling the role of various process parameters on the quality and properties of deposition. Special attention is paid to the significance and performance of CVD‐based membranes and thin films for industrial applications ranging from desalination and water treatment to energy and environment, biomedical and life science as well as packaging. The goal has been to establish a scientific platform for a timely tracking of the prevailing trends in exploitation of CVD techniques and highlighting the unexplored opportunities. This also helps in identification of the scientific and technical gaps and setting directions for further progress in the fields of thin films and membranes.
