Abstract

To meet the present demands of environmental protection, resource efficiency, and specific separation under severe conditions, continued research and enhancement of membrane technology is necessary. One of the major innovations for improving the sustainability of separation processes has been the use of green solvents for membrane preparation. In this regard, environmentally friendly methods and preparation techniques for high-performance membranes have recently been developed. This article gives an overview of current advancements in polymeric membrane manufacturing processes in terms of environmental preservation and health safety.

Highlights

  • The basis for sustainable development in any civilization are energy supply, drinkable water availability, raw material depletion, and environmental protection

  • Since the advantages of a more sustainable and greener preparation process are immeasurable, the best option for replacing hazardous solvents without compromising membrane performance is based on its good toxicological profile and specific physical properties, such as complete solubility in water, high boiling point, and low molecular weight

  • The results showed that Cyrene may be utilized as a solvent for two of the most commonly used membrane polymers

Summary

Introduction

The basis for sustainable development in any civilization are energy supply, drinkable water availability, raw material depletion, and environmental protection. The inherent properties of the membrane such as selective separation, continuous operation, no extra chemicals, energy conservation, simple scaling and process, can provide desired results without the disadvantages of conventional methods [7, 8]. Chemical processes must be developed with the objective of decreasing or eliminating the SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGIES FOR GREEN ECONOMY. Since the advantages of a more sustainable and greener preparation process are immeasurable, the best option for replacing hazardous solvents without compromising membrane performance is based on its good toxicological profile and specific physical properties, such as complete solubility in water, high boiling point, and low molecular weight. In order to accomplish substantial improvements in membrane formation, provide some potential recommendations, past approaches, and future research prospects
