Abstract:BACKGROUND: Protein is one of the key components of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and poses challenges in water treatment such as membrane fouling. The removal of proteins in preliminary treatment should transform wastewater treatment into a more feasible and cost-effective process by preventing membrane fouling. In this study, we chemically synthesized nanographene oxide (NGO) and explored its potential as a nanoabsorbent for adsorbing the proteins lysozyme (LYZ) and bovine serum albumin (BSA). RESULTS: Here… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
