Zero-valent iron impregnated cellulose acetate mixed matrix membranes for the treatment of textile industry effluent

Novel green synthesized zero valent iron (ZVI) nanoparticles of distinct mass fractions of 0.5, 1.5 and 2.5 wt% are blended with cellulose acetate (CA) to prepare CA/ZVI mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). The thermal stability and roughness were improved by increasing the mass fraction of ZVI in CA. The...
