A Review on Water Filtration Approaches and Composite Membrane Engineering for Sustainable Separation

Abstract

Hydrocarbon-bearing wastewater with complicated compositions that contain hazardous and damaging contaminants is produced in significant quantities during the development and production of both local and international oil fields. The highest concentration of oil-water emulsion is seen in oily sewage generated during oilfield extraction. Concern over the separation of oily wastewater arose from last decade as a result of the increased demand for fresh water. For waste water separation, multifunctional membrane fabrication is the most dependable method and high potential technique due to its low cost, high separation efficiency, and single operating procedure. In addition to novel physical and chemical methods for membrane fabrication, this review article will also look at high potential separation strategies.
