Sustainable Jatropha oil-based membrane with graphene oxide for potential application in Cu(II) ion removal from aqueous solution

More recent attention has been focused on the utilization of Jatropha curcas in the field of water treatment. The potential of Jatropha oil in the synthesis of membrane for water filtration had been explored, its performance compared to the addition of graphene oxide (GO) in the polymer matrix. Jatr...
