Summary: Gas-liquid membrane contactors are proposed as an alternative for traditional ozone injection methods in water treatment, but there is limited information on large-scale applications. This review discusses the research state of ozone membrane contactors, focusing on material stability, mass transfer performance, and process design, aiming to identify favorable operating conditions and benefits over traditional methods. The study compares experimental and calculated mass transfer coefficients for different membranes and suggests areas for future research.

Summary: Membrane gas-liquid contactors are developed to enhance gas absorption process efficiency and reduce energy consumption, by combining membrane separation and amine absorption technologies. A major technical challenge is the wetting of membrane pores by solvent, which lowers mass transfer coefficient. However, factors like solvent selection and operational temperature are also crucial for success.

Summary: Treatment and reuse of produced water, the largest wastewater stream generated during oil and gas production, is a promising option to meet the increasing clean water demands. High-performance treatment technologies, such as the photocatalytic membrane reactor (PMR), are needed to efficiently remove organic and inorganic contaminants in produced water for fit-for-purpose applications. Specific factors such as produced water characteristics, photocatalysts properties, membranes applied, and operating conditions are crucial for the rational design and reliable operation of PMR.

Summary: The study demonstrated that the novel submerged flat-sheet NF membrane module has low fouling propensity and high separation performance during the direct filtration of surface water. The NF system showed high rejection of color and organics, with minimal increase in transmembrane pressure. The removal efficiency of total organic carbon was also high.

Summary: The fouling attached to PVDF membranes treating anaerobic effluent for dissolved CH4 recovery was characterized. Both organic and inorganic fouling were observed, with proteins, polysaccharides, and calcium and phosphate salts as the main foulants. The mPVDF membrane suffered more severe fouling and had lower stability. The fouling exhibited a stratification on the membrane and irreversible fouling remained after extraction.

Summary: The study reviews the performance of nanoporous gas-liquid polypropylene membrane contactors with NaOH absorbents for removing H2S and CO2 from gas streams. Experimental results show that operation conditions, absorbent saturation levels, and membrane parameters significantly affect the contactor efficiency. The mass transfer rates and removal efficiencies differ for H2S and CO2, allowing selective removal of H2S with high H2S/CO2 selectivity.

Summary: Adsorptive-photocatalytic electrospun nanofiber membranes have shown great potential in wastewater treatment. However, their mechanical properties limit their use in pressure-driven filtration. In this study, dual-layered MoS2/PAN-CA membranes were successfully fabricated using electrospinning and hot-pressing techniques, resulting in improved physicochemical and structural properties. The MoS2/PAN-CA membranes exhibit promising performance in treating various pollutants in water and wastewater.

Summary: The performance of nanoporous polypropylene membrane contactors in water evaporative transfer processes is reported in this paper, considering membrane packing density, flow, and temperature conditions. The efficiency of heat and mass transfer in the membrane evaporator is evaluated under various partial pressure gradients and gas phase Reynolds numbers. By inducing convective flows in the gas phase, the evaporation efficiency increases and reaches 4.6 kg x m-2xh-1 (3.0 kW x m-2xh-1) at the inlet water temperature of 60 degrees C. The efficiency is achieved through heat extraction from the gaseous phase and evaporation of water from the external surface of fibers. A thin graphene oxide coating is applied to prevent liquid penetration through the pores and salts crystallization, although slightly reducing the membrane performance.

Summary: Membrane gas-solvent contactors are a promising hybrid separation technology for various industrial applications, particularly carbon dioxide capture. Enhancements to mass transfer in these contactors were achieved through the application of vibration to the membrane module. The results showed that the overall liquid phase mass transfer coefficient increased with the frequency and amplitude of vibration, leading to a significant improvement in carbon dioxide separation. A correlation based on a vibrational dimensionless number was established to quantify the vibration improvement, providing insights into the optimal vibrational conditions for enhancing mass transfer.

Summary: The study investigated the potential of polyPOSS-imide membranes for purifying hydrogen from coke gas, with tubular single-channel and multi-channel membranes fabricated using POSS nanostructures and 6FDA. Gas separation performance was tested with single gas and quaternary mixtures, showing high H-2 permeance and suitable selectivity. Results suggest promising potential for upscaling polyPOSS-imide membranes for H-2 upgrading.
