Surface functionalization of polymer membrane in enhancing biocatalytic removal of water micropollutants / Nur Ummi Anisa Muhammad Rasidi

Membrane technology plays a crucial role in removing micropollutants such as methylene blue (MB) and Bisphenol-A (BPA). However, secondary waste will be generated as the polymer membrane could not degrade MB and BPA. It can only be degraded to its non-phenolic compound with the help of an enzyme. A...
