Regulating surface-pore structure of PES UF membrane by addition of “active” nano-CaCO3

Optimization of isotropic MoS2/PES membranes for efficient treatment of industrial oily wastewater

“…PES has found favour as a membrane material owing to its outstanding properties, which include working along a wide pH range, being mechanically consistent, and thermal stability, but causes fouling. [23][24][25][26] Several approaches have been employed to eliminate fouling through material development or optimization of membrane fabrication. 27 For the minimization/ elimination of fouling, nanomaterials aimed at improving the surface properties of membranes have been utilized to improve the top selective layer, support layer, interface between the top and support layer or the entire membrane matrix.…”
