Bismuth oxychloride nanowafers were synthesized and loaded on activated charcoal (BiOCl-AC) and were used as a novel additive to prepare polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) ultrafiltration (UF) membranes along with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as a pore forming agent by phase inversion technique. The BiOCl nanow...
