Unlike the other MBRs, extractive membrane bioreactor (EMBR) focuses on enhancing the efficiency of wastewater treatment through toxic compounds extraction by using a selective membrane. Even though EMBR has been successfully demonstrated in wastewater and waste gas treatment by several studies, it still faces some obstacles such as biofilm formation and low selectivity of the membrane towards a specific component. Appropriate biofilm formation control strategies and membrane with high selectivity are needed to solve those problems. This paper reviews EMBR including its potential applications in wastewater treatment, denitrification process, and waste gas treatment. In addition, challenges and outlook of EMBR are discussed.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Attractive strategies,Biological instability,Conventional activated sludges,Denitrification process,Extractive membrane bioreactors,Membrane bio reactor (MBR),Mixed liquor suspended solids,Waste gas treatment[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Biofilm,Bioreactor,Denitrification,Extractive membrane bioreactor,Wastewater treatment[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]This research is partially funded by the Indonesian Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education under WCU Program managed by Institut Teknologi Bandung and Basic Research Programs from the Indonesian Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education , 2019.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biortech.2019.122424[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
