Abstract:
The rapid expansion of new energy industries including battery production, solar panel manufacturing, biofuel production, and nuclear power generation processes has introduced a significant global challenge in management of wastewater and resources generated during production and operational processes. Therefore, the development of advanced materials and technologies for new energy production wastewater treatment and resources recovery is definitely required. Here, we examine the strategies for treatment of wastewater generated by new energy industries, with a particular focus on membrane technologies for both water treatment and resource recovery purposes. This review begins with an overall introduction of the rapid evolution of new energy industries and the urgent global challenge of new energy wastewater management with particular emphasis on membrane processes for treatment of new energy production wastewater generated during the battery production, solar panel manufacturing, biofuel production, and nuclear power production processes. Moreover, the potential of membrane technology in recovery of valuable resources such as metals, nutrients, valuable chemicals, and water from those new energy production wastewaters is also critically analyzed. This review finally gives a comprehensive summary and an outlook on future directions for overcoming technical challenges toward practical applications of such advanced membrane materials/structures and technologies. © 2025 Elsevier B.V.
