Membrane separation processes have been deployed for downstream applications in biorefineries. This article discusses the challenges of membrane technology in purification of biofuels such as bioethanol, biodiesel and biogas. The significance of membrane technology are discussed towards the fractionation of lignocellulosic biomass for biofuel production.  The membrane reactors for biodiesel production were also studied. Limitation with respect to each individual processes on biofuel purification were also reported. The major limitation in membrane separation are membrane fouling and concentration polarization. Membrane engineering and process optimization are the viable tools to enhance the performance of membrane. Recently, inorganic nanofillers has significant control in alteration of polymeric membrane characteristics for the improvement of permeability and selectivity. This article would be an insight for researchers to understand the challenges of biorefinery membrane separation.

: The supported ionic liquid (SIL) membranes have demonstrated huge potential for numerous applications in current separation science and catalysis. Membrane technology allows for separation of complex mixtures of gases, vapours, liquids and /or solids below trivial conditions. Simultaneous chemical transformations can also be achieved in membranes by using catalytically active materials comprising the membrane or embedded catalysts in the custom built membrane reactors. In the present editorial, the remarkable contribution of liquid membranes in catalysis is highlighted. Some recent applications are presented and compared with conventional methods. In addition, SILs and their applications in catalysis, catalytic membranes and recent advances in membrane separation processes are briefly described.
