Facile synthesis and characterization of Zno-HNT additive for enhancement of polysulfone membrane for Oil-In-Water separation

In this study, a novel nanocomposite of Zinc Oxide-Halloysite Nanotubes (ZnO-HNT) has been synthesized and incorporated into polysulfone membrane for the purpose of oily wastewater separation and purification. ZnO-HNT nanocomposite was synthesized as additives that can improve the hydrophilicity as...
