Membrane contactor is a device generally used for the removal or the absorption of a gas into another fluid. The membrane acts as a barrier between the two phases and mass transfer occurs by diffusion and not by dispersion. This article is a review of the application of membrane contactor technology for ozonation applied to water treatment. The challenge of removing micropollutants is also discussed. In the first part, the ozonation process is mentioned, in particular chemical reactions induced by ozone and its advantages and disadvantages. In the second part, generalities on membrane contactor technology using hollow fibers are presented. Then, the benefit of using a membrane contactor for the elimination of micropollutants is shown through a critical analysis of the influence of several parameters on the ozonation efficiency. The impact of the membrane material is also highlighted. Finally, several modeling approaches are presented as a tool for a better understanding of the phenomena occurring in the contactor and a possible optimization of this process.

Food waste condensate (FWC) is a valuable source for recovering short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) through methods such as supported liquid membrane contactors. Containing organic compounds like acetate, propionate, and butyrate, FWC offers a rich substrate for efficient SCFA extraction. Recovering SCFAs from FWC provides notable environmental advantages, including reducing waste and generating high-value products for industries such as bioenergy and chemical production.

Recovery of nitrogen from wastewater presents a unique opportunity to valorize waste and contribute to a more circular nitrogen economy. However, dilute solution separations are challenging for most state-of-the-art separations technologies. This often results in technologies having low concentration factors that result in low-value products (e.

Article Synopsis
- The ocean is the largest carbon sink on Earth but is absorbing too much CO₂, endangering marine life, which calls for immediate action to address greenhouse gas emissions.
- This review compares two main methods for direct ocean capture (DOC) of CO₂: non-electrochemical methods that use materials like membranes and resins, and electrochemical methods that involve chemical reactions to adjust seawater pH.
- The article details each method's latest research, principles, equipment, performance metrics, and discusses existing challenges and future potential solutions for carbon capture from seawater.

Carbon dioxide (CO) is responsible for increment of the Earth surface temperature and the subsequent environmental issues. In this regard, membrane contactor is one of the emerging technologies that can be applied for controlling CO emission. More specifically, the intrinsic structure of membrane plays an important role to govern the performance of CO absorption.
