“…Sonochemistry is used in membrane technology as a new branch of chemistry because of it is defined as a green and effective method [28][29]. The attractive application of ultrasonication (US) in membrane technology is seen in the determination of fouling layer (cake layer) thickness [30], pore shape and pore size [31] as well as porosity [32]. Its general use is found in filtration processes to clean or protect membrane surfaces from cake layer formations [33][34][35][36][37][38][39].…”
Highlights• Ultrasonication as a green alternative technique to enhance membrane permeability.• Combined effect of nanofillers and ultrasonication.• Effect of ultrasonication and nanofillers on crosslinked-PVA membranes.

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.
