Abstract

Wastewater can be treated in many ways, out of which membrane separation technology is considered the most effective and unique one. Especially, carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-based membranes are getting noteworthy attention owing to the combined merits of CNTs and membrane separation. This results in offering superior membrane properties. This chapter discusses the classification and characterization of CNTs based membranes. It also reviews the fabrication methods for mixed CNTs based membranes in detail. Furthermore, the future direction and challenges related to CNTs based membranes are also briefly outlined.
