Due to environmental concerns, advancements in separation processes have also become necessary. Membrane processes are particularly effective in removing contaminants from entering effluents, thereby protecting water sources, and are high-performance techniques for water and wastewater treatment. The synergistic effect of carbon-based nanocomposite membranes, resulting from the properties of carbon based nanomaterials (CBNs) (such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and, graphene oxide (GO)) combined with the unique characteristics of membrane separation techniques, has led to improved performance of the membrane processes. The classification of the content is based on the dimensions of CBNs and membranes: zero-dimensional (0D), one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D). Efforts have been made to review articles from the past two years. This study briefly reviews newly developed membranes using carbon nanomaterials in various membrane technologies, including microfiltration (MF), ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF), reverse osmosis (RO), forward osmosis (FO), membrane bioreactor (MBR), and membrane distillation (MD), aiming to highlight their potential success.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54228,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Green and Sustainable Chemistry","volume":"53 ","pages":"Article 101026"},"PeriodicalIF":9.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143854800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In eco-humanism, humans are considered close to nature and promote ethical stewardship and community-based sustainability efforts. In contrast, eco-modernism emphasises technological advancements that can solve environmental problems while sustaining economic growth. It discusses the synergies and contradictions that result from such opposite ideologies. Initiatives like renewable energy projects and precision agriculture show synergies between technological development and social equity targets. However, there are contradictions when technological solutions bypass ethical considerations, as in large-scale projects without community consultation. The review also considers how to integrate these frameworks, where priorities differ, and technological optimism might overshadow necessary behavior changes. It demonstrates how interdisciplinarity in research, inclusive education, and policymaking can close the gap between eco-humanism and eco-modernism. This paper concludes that human-centred ethics combined with technological innovation constitute a viable way forward towards sustainable development. By embracing both ideologies, future sustainability efforts can be more inclusive, just, and effective in tackling global environmental and social problems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54228,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Green and Sustainable Chemistry","volume":"53 ","pages":"Article 101018"},"PeriodicalIF":9.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143783433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
