| Abstract | Sustainable management of water is today vital owing to population growth, industrial developments and other advancements, mainly in developing countries. Water and wastewater can be treated before their use or re-use employing complexation reactions as the basis of advanced membrane processes named Polymer Assisted Ultrafiltration (PAUF) and Sandwich Liquid Membranes (SwLM). In this paper the fundamental chemical principles and the process parameters to operate such processes will be described. Then the removal and recovery of metal ions (e.g. copper(II) and nickel(II)) and water recycling by using the PAUF process will be treated by reviewing mainly our experimental data. Concerning the other type of process the SwLM will be compared with the Supported Liquid Membrane (SLM) in the separation of two types of pollutants: i) organic, such as drugs (e.g. Gemfibrozil); ii) inorganic ions (e.g. Cu(II)).
