Overview

Composite membranes enhanced oil rejection and fouling resistance in laboratory filtration, indicating improved wastewater treatment potential.

Key Points

  • The PGTS membrane achieved a 99% oil rejection rate while enhancing flux by 8%, demonstrating superior performance.
  • Surface-functionalized nanomaterials like graphene oxide, titania, and silica reinforce the membrane's separation efficiency.
  • Techniques such as solution casting and electrospinning were used to improve the membrane's hydrophilic properties and surface area.
  • This study highlights potential applications of the superhydrophilic membrane for treating oily wastewater in both industrial and domestic settings.
