Abstract

Numerous methodologies, encompassing adsorption, oxidation, and biological techniques, have been proposed and experimented with. Among these methods, membrane-based technology, stands out as an exceptionally effective approach, captivating researchers in the battle against pollution due to its promising attributes. These include cost-effectiveness at the outset, ease of scalability, and environmentally friendly production with minimal emission of noxious compounds. In this chapter, we conduct an assessment of the efficacy of membrane technology in eliminating diverse contaminants from both industrial and agricultural effluents. Our aim is to highlight the pivotal role played by this technology. This chapter will comprehensively expound upon the diverse approaches involving membrane-based technology, elucidating their mechanism, and their applications in environmental remediation. These applications span from heavy metal removal, dye degradation, and pharmaceutical waste cleansing to the elimination of organic contaminants, and even encompass gas sensing capabilities. This chapter focuses on the latest developments in membrane technology for the treatment of industrial and agricultural waste.
