Abstract
The incorporation of microporous mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) with inorganic nanomaterials has created an opportunity for developing new types of polymeric-based membranes with improved physicochemical properties and filtration performance for water applications. This chapter will review the latest developments of MMMs being incorporated into a wide range of nanomaterials for water and wastewater treatment processes. More specifically, it will provide an overview of the effects of various functionalized nanomaterials (i.e., titanium-based nanomaterials, carbon-based nanoparticles, binary metal oxides, silicon dioxide, and metal-organic framework) on the properties of MMMs with respect to hydrophilicity, morphology, water flux, solute rejection, antifouling, and antibacterial resistances. The potential for using functionalized nanomaterials in adsorptive MMMs fabrication for heavy-metal ions removal process will also be reviewed and discussed.
