Effect of reduced graphene oxide/TiO2 nanocomposite with different molar ratios on the performance of PVDF ultrafiltration membranes

Preparation and characterization of graphene oxide/TiO2 blended PES nanofiltration membrane with improved antifouling and separation performance

“…The uniform dispersion and smaller particle size of TiO 2 in the rGO/TiO 2 nanocomposite indicate that the wimple structure of the GO prevents the nanoparticle aggregation and enables their good distribution on the graphene sheets. Further characteristics of the synthesized nanocomposite have been reported in our previous studies [3,28]. the membranes modified with GO was darker than the unmodified PES membrane due to the color of this additive.…”

Fouling of polymer and organic-inorganic membranes during filtration of corn distillery

“…Modification of the membrane with inorganic constituent allows us to overcome this difficulty [13,14]. Hydrophilic inorganic particles inside pores of the membrane are a barrier against fouling with organics [14].…”

TiO2 nanocomposite based polymeric membranes: A review on performance improvement for various applications in chemical engineering processes

“…The author reported that the MB degradation rate under UV irradiation was 3-4 time faster than the sunlight irradiation. Furthermore, Safarpour et al[123] studied on the effect of reduced grapheme oxide/TiO 2 nanocomposites on the performance of PVDF ultrafiltration membranes. It is worth to note that by adding 0.05 wt.% reduced-GO/TiO 2 nanocomposite in membrane casting solution, permeability and antifouling properties of membrane were significantly improved.A photocatalytic membrane reactor (PMR) coupled with photocatalysis and direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) was applied by Mozia et al[124,125] to dye removal.…”
