Abstract

In today’s world, every country is striving towards progress, but this progress negatively impacts our environment. Due to human activities like energy generation and transmission, harmful greenhouse gases like CO2, H2S, and NO2 are released, leading to a severe environmental issue. To combat this problem, membrane-based gas separation techniques are used in various industries like water treatment, biogas recovery, and hydrogen recovery. This article aims to provide comprehensive information about membrane technology, including its stages of development, material selection, fabrication methods, performance evaluation, applications, and sustainability. It is an essential resource for researchers who want to enhance the efficiency of membrane technology or develop new types.
