Nanocrystalline cellulose incorporated biopolymer tailored polyethersulfone mixed matrix membranes for efficient treatment of produced water

Membrane technology is a sustainable method to remove pollutants from petroleum wastewater. However, the presence of hydrophobic oil molecules and inorganic constituents can cause membrane fouling. Biomass derived biopolymers are promising renewable materials for membrane modification. In this study...
