Abstract

Contamination of water resources has an overall impact and is a cause of worldwide concern because of which requirement for clean water is getting increasing. Membrane-based wastewater treatment technology may uphold effective techniques for the treatment, utilization, and reuse of water and the improvement of next-generation water supply frameworks. With progress in membrane filtration techniques, various sorts of membrane are arising for applications in water filtration and wastewater treatment technologies owing to their viability against both synthetic and natural toxins. This chapter discusses the utilization and applications of membrane filtration techniques that are being assessed or created as option for water treatment. Membrane filtration techniques are inherently preferable in terms of performance over different treatment techniques utilized in water purification on account of their high surface area, lower energy consumption, and high performance. Owing to these attributes, these might be utilized in future at large scale for water treatment.
