Efficient rejection of organic compounds using functionalized ZSM-5 incorporated PPSU mixed matrix membrane
Zeolite (ZSM-5) and functionalised zeolite blended polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) were fabricated for comparing their performance with virgin PPSU. Similar to zeolite-MMMs, functionalised zeolites such as Fe-ZSM-5 (Fe-Z) and Cu-ZSM-5 (Cu-Z) were mixed with PPSU in the presenc...
