Fabrication and characterization of functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotube mixed-matrix membrane for treating biochemical and chemical oxygen demands of surface waters
In this work, a mixed-matrix (MM) membrane consisting of functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT), polyethersulfone (PES) and polyester non-woven fabric was fabricated using immersion precipitation. The membrane capability in reducing the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxyge...
