Effects of surface charge of thin-film composite membrane on copper (II) ion removal by using nanofiltration and forward osmosis process

This study aimed to investigate the effects of cooperative membrane surface charge of thin film composite (TFC) membranes for removal of Cu(II) from aqueous solution using nanofiltration (NF) and forward osmosis (FO) process. A total of five composite membranes with different piperazine/polyethylene...
