Abstract
Prevention of water pollution through domestic and industrial wastewater is the prime key to achieving sustainable goals. Discharging of industrial effluents without treatment is the main responsible suspect for water, air and environmental pollution. It has been estimated that more than 80 percent of the wastewater is released into the environment without treatment. Also, industries are the main consumers of the water and accordingly it produces an effluent in a large quantity. Recovery of valuable assets from industrial effluents has a dual advantage such as the utilization of recovered resources and treatment of effluents. Various technologies have been adopted in this direction of resource recovery and treatment of industrial effluents. Membrane based technologies are widely adopted by the industries considered as proficient technologies for the recovery of valuable products from the industrial effluents. Various advances have been done for membrane technologies from Reverse Osmosis to proton exchange membrane containing Bio-electrochemical system. Membrane fouling, membrane fabrication, a cleaning strategy of membrane and pollutant generated on membrane cleaning is still challenging for the membrane separation technologies for the treatment of industrial effluent. In this chapter, a detailed discussion has been carried out for the treatment and resources recovery of various industry effluent such as but not limited to the textile water, pharmaceutical industry, pulp and paper industry, etc. Also, major challenges for the membrane technologies have been incorporated in this chapter.
