To overcome the limitations of polymers, such as trade-off relationship between water permeance and solute rejection, well difficulty functionalization, research on nanomaterials is being actively conducted. One representative graphene, which has a two-dimensional shape chemical tunability. Graphene usually used in form graphene oxide treatment field because it advantages high functionality its...

Cellulose acetate (CA) as polymer, glycerol derivatives (namely triacetin, diacetin, monoacetin or glycerol-formal) solvents and 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MeTHF) co-solvent were selected bio-based ingredients for the preparation of full-bio-based nanofiltration membranes via non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS). Membrane performance was investigated using an aqueous rose bengal (1017Da)...

In this study, polyethersulfone based nanofiltration membranes were modified by air plasma generated through dielectric barrier discharge to increase the membrane hydrophilicity aiming to improve the separation and antifouling characteristics. The effect of plasma time on the physico-chemical and separation properties of membrane was investigated. The PES nanofiltration membranes were fabricate...
