Abstract
  In this work, KClO3, K2Cr2O7 and KMnO4, dissolved in sulfuric acid, were used to functionalize microporous Polysulfone (PSf) membranes; fabricated by phase inversion method. The optimum concentrations of oxidizing agent and sulfuric acid and membrane immersion times were determined. FTIR results revealed ...  Read More

Abstract
  In this study, membranes were prepared by pristine and polyethylene glycol (PEG)-grafted ‎nanodiamond (ND) embedded in cellulose acetate (CA) as matrix polymer via non-solvent ‎induced phase separation method. The antifouling properties of the membranes were studied ‎during filtration of ...  Read More
