Preparation and characterization of antibiofouling PES nanofiltration membrane

Graphene oxide/ CPTMS@Pd_TKHPP nanoparticles (GO/CPTMS@Pd_TKHPP) was synthesized that was hydrophilic functional groups such as hydroxyl group (OH-) and carboxyl group (COOH) and phenol. Graphene oxide/ CPTMS@Pd_TKHPP nanoparticle embedded in antifouling polymer polyethersulfone (PES) mixed matrix nanofiltration membranes that was synthesis by phase inversion methods. The performance of the membrane synthesized was studied and evaluated in terms of pure water flux, hydrophilicity property, anti-biofouling behavior and dye removal (direct Red 16) properties in different percentage of the GO/CPTMS@Pd_TKHPP nanoparticle in matrix polymer membrane and the results illustrated that the GO/CPTMS@Pd_TKHPP embedded membranes had the notable improvement in pure water flux, anti-fouling resistance and dye removal capacity.
