Cellulose acetate – Based mixed matrix membrane for methylene blue wastewater treatment

The industrial advancement in the textile industry has caused negative environmental impacts because of large amount dye wastewater effluent. treatment can be conducted using adsorption, biological treatment, and flocculation-coagulation processes. However, all these methods involve chemical additions, which may increase operational cost process. To overcome this problem, membrane separation technique been widely used to treat wastewater. Cellulose acetate-based membranes particular are attractive they have a relatively high percentage for rejection. flux still needs improved as volumetric flow rate from industries is very high. In recent years, incorporation inorganic fillers inside polymer matrix mixed (MMMs) attracts many researchers investigate their potential gas water treatment. This research studied synthesis cellulose MMMs methylene blue, cationic commonly found ZIF-8 TiO2 were investigated MMMs. From experiments, it was that exhibited better dispersion rejection than particles matrix. hydrophilic TiO2-containing could produce 260 LMH, higher pure polymeric ZIF-8-based
