Nanotechnology for water purification: electrospun nanofibrous membrane in water and wastewater treatment

Nanotechnology for Water Purification

Fabrication of cellulose acetate/polybenzoxazine cross-linked electrospun nanofibrous membrane for water treatment.

Herein, polybenzoxazine based cross-linked cellulose acetate nanofibrous membrane exhibiting enhanced thermal/mechanical properties and improved adsorption efficiency was successfully produced via electrospinning and thermal curing. Initially, suitable solution composition was determined by varying the amount of the benzoxazine (BA-a) resin, cellulose acetate (CA) and citric acid (CTR) to obtai...

Electrospun membranes: Next generation membranes for desalination and water/wastewater treatment

Nanotechnology: The Breakthrough in Water and Wastewater Treatment

Nanotechnology is the engineering and application of atoms, molecules, and particles whose sizes are on the nanometer scale (1 100 nm). Studies have shown that nanoparticles (NPs), most especially the nano metal oxides have improved and/or unusual physico-chemical properties when compared with the corresponding bulk materials. Thus, these unique properties make NPs very useful in medicine, elec...
