Starch as novel water soluble biopolymer in removal mixtures heavy metal ions via polymer enhanced ultrafiltration

Four heavy metals Zn (II), Pb (II), Cr (III) and Cr (VI) were selected in this work was tested through a Polymer Enhanced Ultrafiltration (PEUF) system. The effects of pH, polymer concentration and metal ions feed concentration were the main focus and influenced the performance of PEUF system. A con...
