Composite membrane with antibacterial properties for wastewater treatment

The increases in wastewater production as a result from the growth of world population, urbanization and industrialization are known to pollute the environment. Many alternatives have been introduced to encounter the problem such as introduction of polymeric membrane technology for the wastewater tr...
