Description In recent years, the domain of the research space in novel separation process has been led by membrane systems as a panacea providing multifarious bene�fits of high separation efficiency, elimination of extreme process conditions, sustainability, and environment friendliness coupled with high operational flexibility. In this niche area, often, ultrafiltration is touted as a robust separa�tion technique due to its high separation efficiency, membrane stability, and lower operating costs. The only drawback of relatively large pore size can be overcome by combining surfactant addition, leading to development of inte�grated processes termed as Micellar Enhanced Ultrafiltration. MEUF processes isolate and selectively separate valuable organics present in effluent streams. The process characteristics fit the bill as a typified example for process intensi�fication Technology interventions for recycling of surfactants can enhance the cost-competitiveness of the process. This has the potential to develop into a broad-spectrum effluent treatment option with a change of surfactants for tar�get contaminants. Here, in this review, we attempt to critically examine the unique features of this technology, development of spin-offs with wide-ranging applications. Specifically applications in removal of hazardous, and persistent components like dissolved organics have been critically studied. The focus was to highlight the crux of the novel technologies highlighting the efficacy and the underlying concept of process intensification
