Synthesis and Characterization of Polyester Thin Film Composite Membrane via Interfacial Polymerization: Fouling Behaviour of Uncharged Solute

Most hydrolysis studies on biomass in Malaysia produce high amount of xylose and glucose compared to other monosaccharides and most of them are acidic. Thin film composite (TFC) membrane developed via interfacial polymerization using triethanolamine (TEOA) and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) as monomers al...
