Due to the impacts of water scarcity, the world is looking at all possible solutions for
decreasing the over-exploitation of finite freshwater resources. Wastewater is one of the …

In the history of man-made macromolecules, water-soluble polymers have primarily
maintained passive roles; examples include the uses of water-soluble polymers for viscosity …

A thin layer of polydopamine (PDA) was coated on the surface of cellulose nanocrystals
(CNCs) by the self-polymerization of dopamine (DA) in water to improve the hydrophilicity …

Cellulose acetate (CA) and cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP) were used as additives (1
wt%, 3 wt%, and 5 wt%) to prepare polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) hollow fiber membranes …

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were introduced into cellulose diacetate (CDA) matrix via
immerged phase-inversion process, aiming to improve the filtration and antifouling …

Cellulose acetate (CA)/carbon nano tubes (CNT) membranes were prepared using phase
inversion method by dispersing different ratio of carbon nano-materials in CA casting …

In the present work, hollow fiber ultrafiltration membranes were fabricated by incorporating
intensified dosages of nano‑aluminum oxide (nano-Al 2 O 3; 0.6 wt%, 1.0 wt% and 1.5 wt%) …

Membranes with a high water flux and excellence in separating NaCl are required in
pervaporation (PV) for water desalination. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are low cost and …

In this research, a series of cellulose acetate (CA)-based blend ultrafiltration (UF)
membranes bearing poly (ε-decalactone)(PDL)-grafted cellulose copolymer (ie, CgD) of 1 …

The aim of the present work was to study the retention properties of arsenate and phosphate
at various feed concentrations and to investigate the effect of pH on the rejection of these …
