Household and industrial activities are the main sources of hazardous organic liquid waste. Harmful organic compounds contained in discarded wastewater cause various health and environmental problems. One of the methods to separate hazardous substances from liquid waste is pervaporation. Pervaporation is a method of separating a mixture using a membrane. This method has been proven to be effective in the separation of organic compounds from water bodies. ZnO/rGO geopolymer ceramic membranes can be used as pervaporation membranes to separate volatile organic compounds from water bodies. This membrane passes only volatile organic compounds and repels water molecules due to its hydrophobic nature. This article is a review of pervaporation technology for water purification that is effective and easy to develop. © 2024 American Institute of Physics Inc.. All rights reserved.
