Graphene oxide as antimicrobial against two gram-positive and two gram-negative bacteria in addition to one fungus
(
Science Publications
, 2014 , Article)
Graphene based materials have wide potential applications in biology, biomedical, agriculture environmental and biotechnology. Graphene Oxide (GO) is one of those materials and has a promising substance as antimicrobial ...
Functionalization of reverse osmosis membrane with graphene oxide and polyacrylic acid to control biofouling and mineral scaling
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
The polyamide reverse osmosis (RO) membrane was modified with graphene oxide (GO), followed by polymerization of acrylic acid (used as an antiscalant) for the reduction of both biofouling and mineral scaling. After ...
Effect of concentration of calcium and sulfate ions on gypsum scaling of reverse osmosis membrane, mechanistic study
(
Elsevier Editora Ltda
, 2020 , Article)
In seawater reverse osmosis, membrane scaling is one of the major issues affecting its widespread application in the desalination industry. In this paper, the effect of concentration of calcium and sulfate ions from 20 to ...
Effective removal of phenol from wastewater using a hybrid process of graphene oxide adsorption and UV-irradiation
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
The focus of this work is the removal of phenol from water by graphene oxide (GO) nanoparticles, prepared by two different methods, through a hybrid adsorption?UV-irradiation process. The GO1 and GO2 were prepared using ...
Investigating the effect of temperature on calcium sulfate scaling of reverse osmosis membranes using FTIR, SEM-EDX and multivariate analysis
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
Membrane fouling is one of the major hurdles in widespread use of seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) in desalination industry. There are various factors that affect the inorganic fouling or scaling of Reverse osmosis (RO) ...
Functionalization of reverse osmosis membrane with graphene oxide to reduce both membrane scaling and biofouling
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
In this paper, commercially available graphene oxide (GO) was used as nanomaterials to modify polyamide reverse osmosis (RO) membrane surface. After functionalization, the membrane surface properties were improved as the ...
Improving properties of thin film nanocomposite membrane through polyethyleneimine intermediate layer: A parametric study
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
In this work, the polyethyleneimine (PEI)-interlayered thin film nanocomposite (iTFN) membranes were developed by establishing graphene oxide (GO)-incorporated polyamide (PA) layer atop PEI-coated polysulfone (PSf) substrate ...
New material of polyacrylic acid-modified graphene oxide composite for phenol remediation from synthetic and real wastewater
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
In this study, new material of polyacrylic acid-modified graphene oxide (GO-PAA) composite for phenol remediation from synthetic and real wastewater was investigated. The graphene oxide (GO) and GO-PAA were physically and ...
Investigating the effect of polymer-modified graphene oxide coating on RO membrane fouling
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
The development of novel reverse osmosis (RO) membranes resistant to multiple types of fouling is a need to secure clean water production and meet rising water demands. In this paper, the RO membrane surface-functionalized ...
