Abstract:

This paper illustrates the role of different membrane technologies in the treatment of VOCs from water and wastewaters. Emerging membrane technologies such as pervaporation (PV) and membrane distillation (MD) gained scientists’ attention as a promising way for water treatment. We have studied and discussed today’s advanced membranes: PV membranes which included polysiloxaneimide (PSI) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and MD membranes which included electro-spun nanofiber membrane and vacuum membrane distillation (VMD). Studied membranes showed great potential for the treatment of VOCs from water. However, it was found that certain factors like feed temperature, downstream pressure, component volatility (Henry's constant) and VOCs concentration must be considered in the design phase to achieve the ideal treatment.
