Brief content Growing consumption of personal care products, pharmaceuticals, and disruptive endocrine compounds for healthcare issues and improving living standards have caused the widespread occurrence of micropollutants (MPs) in water and wastewater. Classical water and wastewater treatment plants face essential drawbacks in tackling these types of compounds, foremost to difficulties in establishing secure and safe water supplies. In this area, more and more attention is paid to application of membrane technology that has been found to be promising method for resolving this emerging concern. To ensure the suitability of membrane-based treatment processes in full-range of applications, it is essential to develop better understanding of the behavior of MPs and the mechanisms behind their removal using advanced membrane technologies.
