ABSTRACT

Domestic wastewater treatment is a critical process to ensure the protection of public health and the environment. With the increasing global population and urbanization, the demand for efficient and sustainable wastewater treatment methods has become more pronounced. Membrane technology has emerged as a promising approach for the treatment of domestic wastewater due to its ability to remove a wide range of contaminants while providing high-quality treated water. This review paper aims to provide an overview of the current state of membrane technology for domestic wastewater treatment, including membrane types, configuration, and their application in various treatment processes. Additionally, the paper discusses the challenges and prospects of membrane technology in domestic wastewater treatment. The introduction section sets the stage by discussing the background and significance of domestic wastewater treatment and emphasizes the need for efficient and sustainable treatment methods. The objectives of the review paper are then clearly stated, providing a roadmap for the subsequent sections.

Keywords- domestic wastewater treatment, membrane technology, membrane types, sustainable treatment methods
