Abstract:In this study, acrylic fibers waste blended with different ratios of nanochitosan (0.5%, 1%, 2% and 4%, in weight) were converted into antifouling ultrafiltration nanocomposite membranes using a phase separation technique for the remediation of Congo red (CR) and crystal violet (CV) dyes from water. The fabricated nanocomposite membranes were investigated using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The membrane hyd… Show more
