Abstract
Membrane technology offers great potential for treating industrial wastes. Membrane methods that could potentially be applied to wastewater treatment have been reviewed extensively in a recent Department of Energy report on membrane separation systems1 and by various workers in the field2,3. These methods include reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, ultrafiltration, microfiltration, coupled/facilitated transport (liquid membrane), pervaporation, and electrodialysis. Membranes can also be used as contactors to carry out gas stripping and liquid-liquid extraction4,5.
