Sustainable Polymeric Membranes: Green Chemistry and Circular Economy Approaches.
Review in ACS ES&T engineering, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Water scarcity remains a critical global challenge, necessitating the advancement of sustainable water treatment technologies. Polymeric membranes have emerged as an indispensable solution for desalination and wastewater treatment due to their high efficiency and low energy consumption. However, conventional membrane fabrication relies on petroleum-derived polymers and toxic solvents, generating significant environmental concerns. This review sheds light on the state-of-the-art approaches to sustainable membrane development, focusing on green chemistry principles and circular economy strategies. Mechanosynthesis offers a solvent-free alternative for synthesizing advanced membrane materials, including metal-organic frameworks, covalent organic frameworks, and polymers of intrinsic microporosity. Additionally, the adoption of biobased green solvents, such as Cyrene and γ-valerolactone, provides viable substitutes for hazardous dipolar aprotic solvents traditionally used in membrane fabrication. The incorporation of biopolymers, including cellulose derivatives and polyhydroxyalkanoates, further enhances the sustainability of polymeric membranes. To mitigate membrane waste, circular economy strategies, including downcycling, upcycling, and repreparation via covalent adaptable networks, offer promising pathways for extending membrane lifecycles and minimizing environmental impact.
