Hydrogen Production from Water Industries for a Circular Economy
Energy is considered one of the most vital resources for socioeconomic progress and securing the quality of life worldwide. According to global energy scenarios, industrial development is an escalated demand for energy consumption in the context of the global energy scenario. By 2050, the amount of energy consumed worldwide is expected to have increased dramatically, from 13.6 billion tons of oil equivalent (BToE) in 2010 to 44.6 BToE, as assumed by Ahmad and Zhang.

Emerging Membrane Technologies for Sustainable Lithium Extraction from Brines and Leachates: Innovations, Challenges, and Industrial Scalability
This perspective critically examines challenges in advancing membrane-based technologies for lithium extraction from industrial brines, salt lakes, and battery leachates. The rapidly rising deployment of electric vehicles and renewable energy systems has intensified global lithium demand, necessitating sustainable and efficient extraction methods. Traditional techniques like brine evaporation and hard rock mining are environmentally detrimental due to high water usage, ecological disruption, and significant carbon emissions, compounded by geopolitical risks from resource concentration.

Dielectric Measurements Of Fouling Of Nanofiltration Membranes By Sparingly Soluble Salts
The dielectric spectroscopy of three industrial nanofiltration (NF) membranes NF90, NF270 and NF-, before and after fouled by CaCO3, CaSO4, BaSO4, SrSO4, were measured. The fouling process and different fouling mode caused by the different membrane pore radius were monitored by dielectric spectroscopy.

Correlation Between Particle Deposition And The Size Ratio Of Particles To Patterns In Nano- And Micro-Patterned Membrane Filtration Systems
Recently, membrane surface patterning has attracted much attention as an innovative alternative to control membrane fouling that occurs with membrane filtration used in water and wastewater treatment. However, limited attention has been focused on patterned membranes with nano-scale features due to their difficult fabrication. As a result, there is a lack of research on membrane fouling by particle deposition occurring with a wide range of pattern sizes.

Combination Of Ionic Liquids With Membrane Technology: A New Approach For CO2 Separation
This paper presents details of recent research progress on CO2 separation membranes and membrane processes using ionic liquids (ILs) over the past few years, including supported ionic liquid membranes (SILMs), poly(ionic liquid) membranes (PILMs), poly(ionic liquid)–ionic liquid (PIL–IL) composite membranes, polymer-ionic liquid composite membranes, ion-gel membranes, and membrane absorption processes based on ILs. Descriptions of different approaches to membrane preparation, use of gas transport mechanisms, and state-of-the-art separation results are discussed in the context of breakthroughs and challenges. Furthermore, comprehensive assessment of recently improved membranes and possible future R&D prospective are also discussed.

Experimental Determination Of The Streaming Potential Across Cation-Exchange Membranes With Different Morphologies
Liquid uptake and streaming potential have been determined in aqueous sodium chloride solutions for five different commercial sulfonated polymer cation-exchange membranes. The selected membranes have distinct morphologies and electrochemical properties. Differences in the liquid uptake properties of the membranes have been found, which have been analysed on the basis of the structure and the chemical properties of the membranes.
