Removal of organic pollutants using polysulfone ultrafiltration membrane containing polystyrene silicomolybdate nanoparticles: Case study: Borg El Arab area

Polysulfone (PSf) nanocomposite ultrafiltration (UF) membrane was prepared using polystyrene silicomolybdate (SiMo/PS) nanoparticles (NPs). The spherical SiMo/PS particles can be simply doped into a PSf membrane via the phase inversion process, which allows the hydrophilic SiMo/PS spheres to migrate to the hydrophobic PSf surface and facilitates the antifouling capability of the membrane, especially its anti-bacterial activity. Consequently, the...
