Polymeric Nanocomposite Membranes for Treatment of Industrial Effluents

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Membranes for Water Treatment and Remediation

Part of the book series: Materials Horizons: From Nature to Nanomaterials ((MHFNN))

Abstract

Polymeric Membranes, as a thin layer barrier for various size differential separation, are usually integrated with chemical and biological treatment of wastewater settings. Membrane filtration (MF) technology is very effective for heavy metal and metalloid removal from wastewater that contains a higher concentration of pollutants. MF and ultrafiltration (UF) membranes are generally used for the filtration of water effluent. Moreover the suitable alteration of polymeric membranes by incorporation of carbon based and metal nanoparticles resulting in highly engineered polymeric nanocomposite membranes put forward great benefits such as high strength, stability, resistivity better permeability and antimicrobial and antifouling properties. The resultant water from these membrane processes may be used for diverse reuse applications after disinfection. Researchers are exploring membrane-based, deionization, and nanotechnology-inspired approaches for converting raw or effluent water fit for specific purposes and minimization of pollution load. We quite often gather information regarding the advantages and disadvantages of available technologies for water remediation, and along with recent progress, this chapter also contains the developmental history, current status, future prospects, and significance of exploring and utilizing polymeric nanocomposite membranes in this domain.
