Recent Advances in Biopolymeric Membranes towards the Removal of Emerging Organic Pollutants from Water

Herein, this paper details a comprehensive review on the biopolymeric membrane applications in micropollutants’ removal from wastewater. As such, the implications of utilising non-biodegradable membrane materials are outlined. In comparison, considerations on the concept of utilising nanostructured...
