The author discusses application of ELM, SLM, and polymer inclusion membrane techniques in separation of metal ions (precious metals, Cu, Ni, Zn, Pb, Cd, Cr(VI), Pu, Am, etc.) and organic pollutants (phenols and its derivatives, carboxylic acids, antibiotics, etc.) from wastewaters using laboratory, pilot, and industrial scale modules. Effects of experimental variables upon the solute flux for the various types of liquid membranes are analyzed. The author discusses potential and commercial aspects of hquid membrane technology in wastewater treatment. 

Applications of the polymer inclusion membranes in the waste-water treatment have so far been limited to the radioactive wastewaters. Kusumocahyo et al. [158] reported the application of a polymer inclusion membrane to removal of Ce(NO3)3 from wastewater with low radioactivity. The membrane was composed of cellulose triacetate (the base polymer),... 

Additional apphcations of the polymer inclusion membrane in wastewater treatment include the studies by Kozlowski et al. [159], Levitskaia et al. [160], and Levi tskaia etal. [161], as weU as Kim etal. [162]. More research in this area will be required in the future.

Polymer inclusion membranes (PIMs), in which the solid support is created with the carrier phase included within. Recently, PIMs based on ILs have been used as proton exchange membranes in fuel cells at elevated temperatures [77]. Furthermore, these membranes have been successfully used for the removal of chromium(III) from acidic aqueous solution using 2-ethylhexylphosphonic acid (D2EHPA) as an ion carrier and tiicaprylylmethylammonium chloride (Aliquat 336) as a plasticizer [78].
