The immoderate amount of phenol found in the water reservoir, ie, river and municipal drain,
has served as one major contributor to the scarcity of potable water worldwide. Many …

This paper reviews the potential application of graphene and its derivatives as nano filler in
a variety of thermoplastic polymers. The graphene derivatives in the form of graphene oxide …

Novel PSF composite UF membranes incorporating low loadings of polydopamine-
functionalized graphene oxide particles (rGO-PDA) were fabricated and investigated. The …

Humic acid (HA) is a component of natural organic matter (NOM) with a high molecular
weight and high complexity. The presence of humic acid in water raises serious concerns …

Graphene oxide (GO) and GO-based materials have gained a significant interest in the
membrane synthesis and functionalization sector in the recent years. Inspired by their …

Natural organic matter (NOM) is a common occurrence in all raw waters (eg, surface waters,

Exploration and transportation of oil offshore can result in oil spills that cause a wide range
of adverse environmental consequences and destroy aquatic life. Membrane technology …

Developing hybrid ultrafiltration (UF) membranes with high permeability and low fouling
tendency is important for a wide range of wastewater treatment applications. Herein, we …

Polyethersulfone (PES) is a widely used polymer for ultrafiltration (UF) membrane
fabrication. In the current study, carbide-derived carbon (CDC) oxidized by acid treatment …

Oily wastewater has become one of the leading causes of environmental pollution. A
massive quantity of oily wastewater is released from industries, oil spills, and routine …
