        Due to the increase in population and as a result of the increase in economic activities in the world, the demand for water consumption has increased significantly. Seawater covers two-thirds of the earth's surface, so it makes sense to use these resources to provide drinking water and could be an important component in solving the problem of water scarcity. In addition, existing technologies for water treatment to meet There are certain water quality requirements, so reusing used water to address water shortages can be further explored. In recent years, organic metal frameworks have received much attention due to their interesting chemistry and potential applications. In the science of separation, researchers have extensively studied organic-metal frameworks for gas separation and water treatment. In this paper, the aim is to investigate the possibility of using organic-metal frameworks for membrane desalination. Therefore, after a brief introduction of organic-metallic frameworks, several methods for preparing membranes of organic-metallic frameworks, water desalination techniques and methods of application of organic-metallic frameworks and finally membranes of organic-metallic frameworks for different applications of water Such as desalination, nanofiltration, ultrafiltration and microfiltration are considered. The use of organic-metal frameworks as membranes in water treatment is still in its infancy compared to other applications such as gas separation. Manuscript profile

        Over the years, conventional wastewater treatment processes have achieved to some extent in treating effluents for discharge pints. Development in wastewater treatment processes is essential to make treated wastewater reusable for industrial, agricultural, and domestic purposes. Membrane technology has emerged as an ideal technology for treating wastewater from different wastewater streams. Membrane technology is one of the most up‐to‐date advancements discovered to be successful in fundamentally lessening impurities to desired levels. In spite of having certain impediments, membrane bioreactors (MBRs) for biological wastewater treatment provide many advantages over conventional treatment. This review article covers all the aspects of membrane technology that are widely used in wastewater treatment process such as the principle of membrane technology, the classification of membrane technology processes in accordance to pressure, concentration, electrical and thermal‐driven processes, its application in different industries, advantages, disadvantages and the future prospective.

        The demand for rare earth elements has increased significantly due to potential industrial applications such as catalysts, magnets, battery alloys, ceramics. However, the separation and recovery of rare earth metals are very difficult due to their similar chemical properties and ionic radius, so progress in the separation process of these elements will bring many global benefits. Among the improved methods, the membrane technique has received much attention as a stable method with easy operation in the separation of such metals, and several membranes have been designed for separation. This article provides a summary of the types of membranes in the separation of rare earth elements in terms of extraction performance, transfer efficiency, and membrane stability. Polymer inclusion membranes are a new generation of non-liquid membrane that is made by a simple method of casting a solution containing liquid phases (carrier, plasticizer /modifier) and base polymers. Polymer inclusion membranes due to the possibility of simultaneous extraction and back-extraction, high selectivity, excellent stability, reusability, simple applicability, relatively low cost, and low energy consumption, it provides a great advantage in both the separation and purification of metal ions. Therefore, in this study, an overview of the PIMs reported in the studies to date is presented and the performance, permeability and stability of the membrane are discussed according to the base polymer, carrier, plasticizer and modifiers used.
