Abstract

The article discusses the global water crisis and the role of membrane technology, particularly reverse osmosis (RO), microfiltration (MF), and ultrafiltration (UF), in addressing water challenges by 2050. Membrane technology has evolved to provide safe, sustainable drinking water by treating unconventional water sources like seawater, brackish groundwater, and wastewater. The article highlights the advancements in RO membranes for desalination, the importance of MF and UF membranes for pathogen treatment, and the potential of other membrane technologies like electrodialysis (ED) and membrane distillation (MD) in water treatment by 2050.
