摘要

Membrane technology holds enormous potential for reducing the energy consumption of various separation processes. It is of particular importance for energy-intensive industrial separation processes in organic liquids, such as crude oil fractionation. Most recent developments have focused on identifying ground-breaking materials that provide outstanding stability and rapid separation. However, the sustainability implications of such performance optimizations remain unclear. This Review aims to highlight how membrane technology can drive sustainability and steer industries towards a sustainable future. In particular, it provides perspectives on promising materials, manufacturing processes and industrial applications with respect to energy saving, process intensification and environmental impacts.
