Abstract

Finding reliable water sources is essential for ensuring the sustainability of human society in the near future. More importantly, to maintain the high technology development trend, producing efficient sources is indispensable. Nanomaterial-polymer membranes are typical materials for water and wastewater purification. In purification units, these nanostructured materials have demonstrated their promising prospect in enhancing efficiency because of their outstanding physical, chemical, and mechanical properties. These properties are encouraging and facilitate a wide range of applications in water-related disciplines. Nanomaterial-polymer membranes can be used in currently conventional technologies to remove impurities from water, including filtration, reverse osmosis, adsorption, and ion exchange. In addition, they can be used in the desalination process to remove salts to obtain fresh water.
