TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a consolidate review on the present state of research and advancement in MBR technology along with its augmentation with other wastewater treatment technologies for micropollutant removal, sustainability, and operating cost assessment for its feasibility.

TL;DR: A tubular ceramic microfiltration membrane was prepared by an extrusion technique using inexpensive clay mixtures namely, ball clay, kaolin, feldspar, quartz, pyrophyllite and calcium carbonate as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: This work assessed the treatment of wastewater generated from three different industries viz., paper and pulp, biomass gasification and dairy by biodegradation followed by membrane filtration, showing excellent results in terms of COD removal from the industrial wastewaters.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the valorization of biomass gasification wastewater (BGWW) for lipids accumulation by Rhodococcus opacus and potential biodiesel application, using synthetic mineral media based BGWW, the bacterium accumulated a maximum 65.8% of lipids.

TL;DR: In this paper, a low-cost tubular ceramic membrane was proposed for treating dairy wastewater generated by a local dairy industry, which achieved a maximum reduction in chemical oxygen demand (COD) up to 91% (135mg/L) in the permeate stream with a flux of 2.59 × 10−6 m3/m2s, which is well within the permissible limit for wastewater discharge into the environment.
