TL;DR: In this article, different nanocomposite membrane fabrication and modification techniques for mixed matrix membranes and thin film membranes for both pressure driven and non-pressure driven membranes using different types of nanoparticles, carbon-based materials, and polymers are discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the existing desalination data of over 6 decades (from 1960s to year 2020) to provide an in-depth assessment, via statistical analysis, of the global spread of desalification, current industrial technologies, and current economic indicators, in order to observe possible future expectations.

TL;DR: A critical and comprehensive review of emerging trends in sustainable membrane-based desalination and wastewater treatment is presented in this article, which includes reuse of membranes, reuse of waste brine or sludge, energy harvesting from wastes, and waste reduction by membrane antifouling approaches.

TL;DR: A critical review that summarizes recent advances in microplastics research and emphasizes the need for regulatory frameworks devoted to MPs is presented in this article, which may be useful for reducing the proliferation of MPs in the environment.

TL;DR: Ozonation, biofiltration and membrane filtration results showed that water-affinity interactions were not the only governing factor influencing the removal of microcystin-LR by membranes, and it was found that charge interactions between membranes and MC-LR played an important role in the rejection.
