BACKGROUND: In this work, a series of graphene oxide–polyethersulfone (GO–PES) composite flat sheet (FS) and hollow fiber (HF) membranes were fabricated by blending 0.5 and 1.0 wt% of GO into the PES matrix and utilized for oil–water separation. GO was first prepared and characterized by using Fouri...
