Photocatalytic antifouling nanohybrid polysulfone membrane using the synergetic effect of graphene oxide and SiO2 for effective treatment of natural rubber-laden wastewater

This study investigates the effects of graphene oxide (GO) and SiO2 composite as nano-photocatalysts in the polysulfone (PSf) membrane to treat natural rubber-laden wastewater (NRW) treatment under UV irradiation. The membranes were fabricated using the phase inversion process. Characterization resu...
