Abstract

Due to its wide range of application, high removal capacity, and low cost, membrane separation technique is considered as one of the most prominent technologies for water filtration. Nevertheless, fouling of membrane is a serious obstacle using membrane filtration process. To address fouling in membrane, researchers have explored different types of modification options, including the integration of hydrophilic inorganic components or metal oxide nanoparticles (MO) loaded onto the electrospun bio and synthetic polymer-based membrane. Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles have been used extensively as a low-cost, eco-friendly, and hydrophilic material. ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) can not only provide antifouling properties to the composite membranes but also provide a photocatalytic self-cleaning capability. It possesses strong antibacterial effects. As a result, polymer-ZnO composite membranes were identified as an appealing hot issue for waste water filtration process. The chapter highlights regarding the recent advances in electrospun polymeric (bio and synthetic polymer) materials that include MO nanoparticles for mitigation of fouling and water purification. Membrane functionalization processes using biopolymer-based nanofiber were also illustrated. The performance assessment, constraints, and possible trends for future research on synthesizing the nanofibrous composite membranes in wastewater treatment are discussed in subsequent section.
