Glycidal Methacrylate (GMA) has been found to be a useful epoxy in the attachment of chelating agents onto the surface for polymer membranes. The treated membranes were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The results of the analysis are discussed, and suggest the modified membranes have a potentia...

How nanoparticles can help prevent biofouling in reverse osmosis elements...

Research a procedure of charging membrane surfaces with copper (Cu?ý) to control biofouling. Characterize the the copper-charged membranes chemically, structerly and morphologically. Investigating copper leaching and biofilm formation. Experiments illustrated successful chelation of copper to cellulose acetate sheet membrane and a significant r...
