    The potential of zeolite membrane for forward osmosis operation was demonstrated. Na–ZSM–5, an aluminosilicate zeolite, membrane was used for fruit juice concentration and the purification of contaminated water with heavy metals. In these applications, Na–ZSM–5 membrane exhibited superior rejection and antifouling performances. In addition, the influence of support structure on water flux in FO operation was studied. The structure of support, namely the thickness, strongly affected water flux, indicating that the water flux through zeolite membrane will be improved by using thin supports, such as hollow fibers and anodized alumina filter.

    Distillation is widely used for concentration of aqueous organic solvent solutions, but it consumes large amounts of energy. Membrane separation is energy–efficient for concentration, but conventional reverse osmosis (RO) method has limitations in the degree of concentration because of high osmotic pressure of concentrated solution. Osmotically Assisted Reverse Osmosis (OARO) is a method that enables high concentration at relatively low pressure. We applied the OARO method to the high concentration of aqueous organic solvent solutions. Dilute solutions of organic solvents such as isopropanol (IPA) and N,N–dimethylformamide (DMF) were successfully concentrated to 20 ~ 40 wt% by OARO with a high yield. OARO is useful for energy–efficient concentration and recovery of organic solvents from industrial wastewater containing organic solvents.

    Seawater desalination has long been used as a solution to the global water shortage. The water recovery ratio of seawater desalination is about 40 ~ 45%, with the remainder being discharged into the ocean as concentrated brine. In recent years, there has been increasing attention on the resource recovery of substances such as sodium chloride and magnesium from concentrated brine. By separating and recovering these substances from concentrated brine, it becomes possible to resourcefully utilize concentrated brine. On the other hand, high concentration is essential for the resource recovery of concentrated brine. One of the high–efficiency concentration technologies developed in recent years is the osmotically assisted reverse osmosis (OARO) method. OARO is a membrane concentration technology that allows for high concentration with low energy consumption, and its development is progressing from the demonstration stage to commercialization. In this paper, in addition to the features of the OARO process, we will introduce examples of its practical application.

    Non–heated concentration membrane system has been developed by using FO (Forward Osmosis) and MD (Membrane Distillation) membrane. FO mainly removes water with osmotic pressure difference between Feed Solution (FS) and Draw Solution (DS). On the other hand, MD mainly removes solvent such as acetonitrile with vapor pressure difference between FS and Cooling Water (CW). This system is applied to pharmaceutical manufacturing processes that are sensitive to heat and pressure such as peptides and oligonucleotides. This is the only one technology which can concentrate the liquids without heat and pressure, and control liquid composition at the same time. This review includes the test results with the cyclic peptide solution, which demonstrates the potential of the FO–MD system in pharmaceutical manufacturing processes.

    Energy optimization in Membrane Bioreactors (MBRs) is essential to facilitate the widespread adoption of this technology for wastewater treatment. This research examined various operating conditions and commonly employed fouling mitigation techniques to assess their impact on the lifespan of porous alumina microfiltration membranes and energy consumption over the operation cycles in MBRs with backwashing. Parameters studied include frequency of backwashing tcycle (30 to 120 min), backwashing duration tbackwashing (1 to 10 min), backwash flow rate Qbackwashing (1 to 5 mL/min), filtration flow rate Qfiltration (1 to 3 mL/min), air circulation flow rate Qair, module (0 to 300 mL/min), and MLSS (2000 to 8000 mg/l). Filtration resistance, measured over the operation time, exhibited a typical two–stage behavior. Membrane fouling rates varied under different conditions. Operations showing lesser fouling rates were not always found to be the most energy efficient. Energy consumption during the filtration period Efiltration is the major contributor to the total energy consumption Etotal.
