The role of sheet-like TiO2 in polyamide reverse osmosis membrane for enhanced removal of endocrine disrupting chemicals

Thin film composite (TFC) reverse osmosis (RO) membrane shows good promise for treating wastewater containing endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC) pollutants. The incorporation of functional materials with exceptional structural and physico-chemical properties offers opportunities for the membranes p...
