Abstract

Due to their efficiency and high selectivity membrane processes are a highly sought technique in energy, water and gas separation applications. Although there have been massive strides in terms of membrane fabrication and their use in various applications, the use of toxic additives needs to be revised for pollution control. The use of green building block materials such as green monomers, solvents and polymers derived from agro-industrial waste makes them attractive as an alternative in membrane technology due to their low cost, biodegradable properties, high specific strength, low energy consumption, easy processibility and the possibility of recyclability.
