Abstract:The separation of toxic boron from seawater using nanofiltration (NF) membrane technology is challenging due to the neutral charge associated with boric acid at seawater pH. In this study, the ethylenediamine functionalized Graphene oxide (EDA-GO) derivative is utilized as a nanofiller to coat the active top layer of the NF membrane over the polyethersulfone ultrafiltration support. The coating involved a self-assembly reaction of hydrolyzed trimesic acid (TMA) molecules facilitated by a triethylamine base. Th… 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.
