Recent progress and future directions of membranes green polymers for oily wastewater treatment


 The preparation, modification and application of eco-friendly polymers such as Poly lactic acid (PLA), Chitosan (CS), and Cellulose acetate (CA) for oily wastewater treatment is summed up in this review. Due to the low environmental pollution, good chemical resistivity, high hydrophobicity, and good capacity for water-oil emulsion separation of the presented polymers, it then highlights the various membrane production methods and their role in producing effective membranes, with a focus on recent advances in improving membrane properties through the addition of various nanocomposites. As a result, the hydrophilic/hydrophobic properties that are critical in the oil separation mechanism are highlighted. Finally, it looks at prediction and challenges in oil/water separation and recovery. These ideas are discussed with a focus on modern production methods and oil separation proficiency.
