Abstract

Recently, the concentration of emerging contaminants is increasing in drinking water sources, industrial wastewater, and reclaimed water. It is not possible to remove the emerging contaminants using conventional methods, and the interest to use nanomembrane-based filtration is getting attention. A nanomembrane-based filtration can be manipulated without the use of any special equipment. Different research findings reported better removal of emerging contaminants has been achieved using nanomembrane-based filtration. Moreover, new developments have been examined and implemented at different levels and are expected to continue. Therefore, this chapter provides a brief overview of recent developments on nanomembrane-based filtration processes in the removal of emerging contaminants from drinking water sources, industrial wastewater, and reclaimed water.
