Abstract: Raceme resolution is the main route to get pure enantiomer．Among all kinds of the resolution methods，membrane resolution methods are considered as the most promising ones because of their special advantages，such as low energy consumption，continuous operation mode　and convenient　up-scaling and so on．In this paper，we consider membrane as two parts：liquid membranes and solid membranes，and introduce their development in chiral resolution respectively．The advantages and disadvantages of each method are also summarized．Moreover，the problems which need to be resolved and the trend of development are discussed．
