Membrane technology has thus far played an essential role in promoting environmental sustainability through improving the quality of water. Taking into account the current growth rate of membrane products along with the market capacity, a tremendous rise in the amount of end-of-life (EoL) membranes is inevitable. In 2022, the global records of EoL membranes reached 35,000 tons. Recycling and resource utilization of EoL membranes is a viable option and hold significant promises for energy conservation and carbon neutralization. The present work provides an extensive overview of the latest progress in the field in relation with the prominent application cases. Furthermore, the avenues for the contributions of membrane recycling treatment technology within the framework of "carbon neutrality" are discussed with emphasis on permeability, pollutant interception capacity, and other relevant factors associated with the recycled membranes. This review strives to summarize the recycling and efficient utilization of EoL membranes, aiming at providing technical support to reduce operational costs and promote the low-carbon development of membrane technology.
迄今为止，膜技术通过提高水质在促进环境可持续性方面发挥了重要作用。考虑到膜产品目前的增长率以及市场容量，报废（EoL）膜的数量必然会大幅增加。2022年，全球报废膜记录达到35000吨。报废膜的回收利用是一个可行的选择，在节能和碳中和方面具有重大前景。本工作全面概述了该领域与突出应用案例相关的最新进展。此外，还讨论了膜回收处理技术在“碳中和”框架内的贡献途径，重点关注渗透率、污染物截留能力以及与回收膜相关的其他相关因素。本综述旨在总结报废膜的回收和高效利用，旨在提供技术支持以降低运营成本并促进膜技术的低碳发展。
