Enhancement of antifouling properties, metal ions and protein separation of poly(ether-ether-sulfone) ultrafiltration membranes by incorporation of poly ethylene glycol and n-ZnO

Recovery of Metals from Wastewater—State-of-the-Art Solutions with the Support of Membrane Technology

“…In addition to the use of a range of polymers (cellulose acetate (CA), polysulfone (PS), and polyethersulfone (PES)) with suitable wetting and pore-size properties or ceramic membranes, which improve the membrane strength to a significant extent, there is also the challenge of focussing on the functionalization of membrane surfaces with a range of components. The membrane based on the metal structure [ 119 , 120 , 121 ], nanoparticles [ 122 , 123 ], or other functional groups [ 124 ] can be mentioned here. The most important factors mentioned in this paper to improve the efficiency of the separation process are shown in Figure 5 .…”

Fabrication of a polyethersulfone/polyethyleneimine porous membrane for sustainable separation of proteins in water media

“…3,4 Due to its gentle operating conditions, conveniently scalable procedures, and high separation capabilities; membrane technology has been widely recognized as a superior method for the fractionation of proteins over more traditional methods like chromatography in the food and biotechnology sectors. [5][6][7][8][9][10] The polymeric membrane has quickly overtaken other methods for protein separation due to its adaptable structure and simple construction process. Porous polymeric membranes mainly have remarkable physicochemical features, including strong chemical and mechanical resistance.…”
